Let the pension before increase be x.

When it was increased by 2%, that means became (100% + 2%) = 102% = 102/100 = 1.02

When the factor of 1.02 was applied it became £78.03

x*1.02 = 78.03

x = 78.03/1.02

x = 76.5

So the pension before the increase was £76.50 

Hope this helped.

If you go from point (-1, -3) to point (4, 4), you can find the slope of the line using the slope formula.  m= \frac{4-(-3)}{4-(-1)}= \frac{7}{5}.  So our slope is 7/5.  The line goes through the y axis at -3/2, so putting that together we get an equation for the line that is  y= \frac{7}{5}x- \frac{3}{2},  choice D from above.

3. A group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. An equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the
grin007 [14]

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.



y = mx + b


y = 2x + 15


slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15



The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2


example :  


baskets picked in 1 hr :


y = 2(1) + 15


y = 2 + 15


y = 17



baskets  picked in 2 hrs :


y = 2(2) + 15


y = 4 + 15


y = 19



so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.


The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.

Identify the ordered pair that represents the vector from A(-8,-1) to B(-5,3) and the magnitude of vector AB.
wel
In order to find the vector that points from A to B we need to subtract each component of A from the corresponding component of B, according to the formula: v(a→b)=(b1−a1,b2−a2) In this case we have : v(a→b)=(−5−(−8),3−(−1)) <span>v(a→b)=(3,4)

</span>To find the magnitude we use the formula: ||v|=  √(v1^2)+(v1^2)

So:
||v|= √(32)+(42) ||v|=  √9+16 ||v|= <span>√</span>25  ||v|= 5
