Over which interval(s) is the function decreasing?
Is this the full question?
Firstly, we need to know the price of the TV after the 110$ increase.
$165 x 1.10 = $181.50
[This is an increase of $16.50]
[1.10 is the equivalent of 110%. 1 being 100% and the .10 being 10%]
Now for the sales tax. We apply a similar method.
$181.50 x 0.065 = $11.79
6.5% of $181.50 is $11.79, so we add the two together to find the final cost.
The final cost of the TV is $193.29
Answer:
1/2 or 0.5 (same value, different form)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok...since I can't actually graph it, we can make a table out of it....
x y
7 -1
9 0
From -1 to 0, we add 1 (this is for the y section)
From 7 to 9, we add 2 (this is for the x section)
Now all we have to do is divide the y with the x
y/x = 1/2
The slope will be 1/2 (fraction form) 0.5 (decimal form)
Hope this helped!
