First, we'll want to know what the total amount of pictures is.

The fraction '4/5' implies that the whole fraction would be '5/5'.

Using that, we get 5/5 - 4/5

5/5 - 4/5 = 1/5

Therefore, 1/5 of the photographs were not sold.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (–1.75, 14.5) and (–1, 4.4). Round to the nearest hundredth if
Feliz [49]

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

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

Two points are needed through which the line passes:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 1.75; 14.5)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}}: (- 1; 4.4)

Substituting:m = \frac {4.4-14.5} {- 1 - (- 1.75)}\\m = \frac {-10.1} {0.75}\\m = -13.46666666

Rounding:

m = -13.47

Answer:

m = -13.47

The greater of two numbers is six more
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

 

Let's begin by writing the mathematical equations given by the sentences.

 

Let X = smaller number

Let Y = larger number

 

The first sentence tells us

X + Y = 38

 

The second sentence tells us

X = Y/3 + 6

 

Since you weren't given a specific method to use, you can use either the substitution method or the elimination(addition) method, whichever works best for you.

 

Since the 2nd equation has the X isolated, I'm going to isolate the X in the first equation,

X = 38 - Y

 

Since both equations are equal to X, I can set them equal to one another and solve for Y.

Y/3 + 6 = 38 - Y

 

Y + 18 = 114 - 3Y

4Y = 96

Y = 24

 

Then use either of the two original equations to solve for X

X + Y = 38

X + 24 = 38

X = 14

Help for both a and b
kipiarov [429]

Hi!

Remember that an x-intercept is a point in which the line touches the x-axis (the horizontal line). And, the y-intercept is a point in which the line touches the y-axis (the vertical/up and down line)

-----------------

For A)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,1)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (3,0)

For B)

The coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,0)

The coordinate of the x-intercept is (0,0) !

*both the x and y axis meet at the origin. So, a line that goes through the origin (0,0) is intersecting with BOTH the x and y-axis.

Hope I helped! Comment if you have any questions or concerns.

2. You bought items at Best Buy totaling $290.76. You have a 20%
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Discount = $290.76 × 0.2 = $58.15

Cost After Discount = $290.76 - $58.15 = $232.61

Sales Tax = 0.0625 × $232.61 = $14.56

How Much You Pay = $232.61 + $14.56 = $247.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount:

290.76 × 0.2* = 58.152

Round that to 58.15

* Turn 20% into a decimal (0.2)

Cost after Discount:

290.76 - 58.15 = 232.61

Sales Tax:

First turn 6.25 % into a decimal. Which would be 0.0625.

0.0625 × 232.61* = 14.556875

Then we round to the nearest hundredth and you get 14.56.

* We us the amount after the discount instead of the original price.

How much you pay:

232.61 + 14.56 = 247.17
