Answer:
The decimal form of the equation is y = 2.5x + 10
The equivalent fraction form is y = (5/2)x + 10 because 5/2 = 2.5
===========================================================
Explanation:
We can pick any two columns from the table to form the two points needed.
I'll pick the first two columns
(1, 12.5)
(2, 15)
Then apply the slope formula to those points
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (15-12.5)/(2-1)
m = (2.5)/(1)
m = 2.5
Now use that slope with either point mentioned to find the y intercept b.
y = mx+b
12.5 = 2.5*1 + b
12.5 = 2.5 + b
12.5 - 2.5 = b
10 = b
b = 10
Or
y = mx+b
15 = 2.5*2+b
15 = 5+b
15-5 = b
10 = b
b = 10
We end up with the same b value.
We found that m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 10 is the y intercept
Therefore we go from y = mx+b to y = 2.5x + 10
This is the same as saying y = (5/2)x + 10 since 2.5 = 5/2

Answer:
B. (1,5) and (5.25, 3.94)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is where the 2 equations intersect.
We need to solve the following system of equations:
y = -x^2 + 6x
4y = 21 - x
From the second equation:
x = 21 - 4y
Plug this into the first equation:
y = -(21 - 4y)^2 + 6(21 - 4y)
y = -(441 - 168y + 16y^2)+ 126 - 24y
y = -441 + 168y - 16y^2 + 126 - 24y
16y^2 + y - 168y + 24y + 441 - 126 = 0
16y^2 - 143y + 315 = 0
y = [-(-143) +/- sqrt ((-143)^2 - 4 * 16 * 315)]/ (2*16)
y = 5, 3.938
When y = 5:
x = 21 - 4(5) = 1
When y = 3.938
x = 21 - 4(3.938) = 5.25.
8x + 6=4x + 38
4x = 32
x = 8
<B = 4x + 38 = 4(8) + 38 = 70
Whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.
therefore, if an item has been discounted by 40%, the discounte is that 40%, what is 40% of the price "p"? (40/100) * p or 0.4p.
