Answer:

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely as x.

y = k/x

10 = k/20

200 = k

The constant proportion k is 200.

16 = 200/x

Cross multiply.

200 = 16x

200/16 = x

x = 12.5

A new shopping mall is gaining in popularity every day since it open the number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shop
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: the number of shoppers on the first day is 125

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of shoppers is 20% more than the numbers of shoppers the day before. It means that the number of shoppers is increasing in geometric progression. The formula for determining the sum of n terms, Sn of a geometric sequence is expressed as

Sn = (ar^n - 1)/(r - 1)

Where

n represents the number of term in the sequence.

a represents the first term in the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

From the information given,

r = 1 + 20/100 = 1.2

n = 4(first 4 days)

S4 = 671

Therefore, the expression for the first 4 days is

671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/1.2 - 1

671 = (a × 1.2^(4) - 1)/0.2

671 = 1.0736a/0.2

671 = 5.368a

a = 671/5.368

a = 125

A line passes through (9, –9) and (10, –5).Write an equation for the line in point-slope form.
CaHeK987 [17]
Y - y1 = [-9-(-5)]/[(9-10] * (x - x1)

y - (-9) = [-9 + 5] / [-1] * (x - 9)

y + 9 = (-4) / (-1) * (x - 9)

y + 9 = 4(x - 9)

y + 9 = 4x - 36

y = 4x - 36 - 9

y = 4x - 45  This is the slope - intercept form.

y - 4x + 45 = 0 This is the standard form
