Let x be marked up price. We have been given that a chemistry set costing $27.50, marked up 32% on cost.
Therefore, mark up price is $8.80.
Since we know that selling price of any item equals the sum of cost and mark-up price of the item.
Let us find selling price of our chemistry set.
Therefore, the selling price of the chemistry set is $ 36.30.
Answer:
y-5=-3(x-17)
y-5=-3x+51
y=-3x+46
compare with equation
y=mx+c
slope = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line can be seen as:
Rise over run is the change in the y values over the change in x values. For example, in this graph, you would start on one of the points given. From there, you would move up first. After moving up a certain number of spaces, you would move to the side until you reach the other point.
In the graph, you would move up until you are in line with one of the other points. Starting at (-4,5), move up one space, then to the left 4 spaces to reach the point (0,6). Using the spaces moved in the rise over run:
Therefore, the slope is 
.
This is true for any two points on the line.
:Done
*When you move up, the number will be positive 
. If you move down, the number will be negative 
. If you move left, the number will be positive 
. If you move right, the number will be negative 
. Keep this in mind. It is very important.
**Always <em>move along the y-axis first</em>, then move along the x-axis. If you do it the other way, the slope will be wrong.
The ladder, leaning against the building, forms a right triangle with height "a" being the distance from the ground to the window, and hypotenuse "c" being the length of the ladder.
Because it's a right triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to find the angles we're missing.
For part A), to solve for the angle between the base of the ladder and the ground, you'll want to use sine, because we know the lengths of the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
Sin(x) = a/c , solve for angle x in degrees or radians.
For part B), finding the angle between the top of the ladder and the building, remember that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees, or pi radians, depending on which unit your teacher prefers.
Assuming degrees, we can say that angle y = 180-90-x. You are simply subtracting the two known angles to find the third.
For part C) use the Pythagorean theorem. You're looking for the length of the base, "b". Recall:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Plug in the known values, and solve for b.
