Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-17- -2)/(24-4)

= (-17+2)/ (24-4)

= -15/20

= -3/4

Which equation represents the line through (0,0) and (3,4)? a. y=3/4x b.y=4/3x c.y=4x d.y=3x

love history [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

m = $\frac{4-0}{3-0}$ = $\frac{4}{3}$

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x → b

When Javier and his father went to dinner, the bill was $34. If they tipped the waiter 20%, how much did they spend in total?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Not sure if this is right, but I got $40.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

I first turned 20% into a decimal. (0.20).

Then I multiplied 0.20 and 34 which is 6.8.

I then added 34 since it’s the original cost to 6.8 since that’s the tip amount.

After that, you should get $40.8.
