4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
The next term in the sequence will be increased by 27.
The difference between 15 and 34 is 19
The difference between 34 and 55 is 21
The difference between 55 and 78 is 23
The difference between 78 and 103 is 25
Following this pattern, the next number will be 130
Answer:
33.33%
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to calculate the <u>unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.</u>
If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;
x = 1 cosmetic
since 360 = 12 cosmetic
cross multiply
12x = 360
x = 360/12
x = 30
Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30
Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)
Selling price per unit = Rs. 40
Cost price per unit = Rs. 30
percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%
percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100
percent gain = 10/30 * 100
percent gain = 100/3
percent gain = 33.33%
Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%
The answer to this is letter D
