Determine the y-intercept:

We make the equation 3=-1/2(8)+b

3=-4+b

7=b

Since the y-intercept is b, we have our full equation: y=-1/2x+7

Hope this helped!

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

3 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Angel lives 3 3/4 blocks to the east of school

Tyrone lives 7 1/4 blocks to the west of Tyrone

Nadeem lives 8 blocks to the east of Tyrone.

Determining each of their homes in terms of distance from school :

Angel = 3 3/4 blocks from school

Tyrone = 7 1/4 blocks to the west of angel

Hence, distance from school will be :

7 1/4 - 3 3/4 = 3 1/2 blocks to the west of school

Nadeem = 8 blocks to the east of Tyrone :

Distance from school will be:

8 - 3 1/2 = 4 1/2 to the east of school.

Hence, 3 1/2 to the west of school is the closet distance of the three.

Hence, Tyrone lives closest to school

All the items on the sale rack were 75 percent off their original price.

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

112 $ is the original price

Step-by-step explanation:

$x \times 0.75 = 84 \\ x = 84 \div 0.75 \\ x = 112$

you have to think that the original price multiplied by 0.75 (also known as 75%) gave the result of what he saves i.e 84 $. So we put up an equation with the original price multiplied by 75% which equals the 84 $ he saved on buying that item on sale
