Answer:

5/3 or 1.666...

Step-by-step explanation:

SLOPE: get the difference of each coordinate and divide them.

two points: A(2,7) and B(5,12)

we subtract ax from bx:

5 - 2 = 3, "dx"

and subtract ay from by:

12 - 7 = 5, "dy"

now we divide dy/dx:

5/3 or 1.666...

that's the slope

$6x ^2-7x+2=0\\ \\ a=6 , \ b = -7 , \ c=2 \\ \\\Delta = b^{2}-4ac = (-7)^{2}-4*6*2=49-48=1 \\ \\x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{7-\sqrt{1}}{2*6}=\frac{7-1}{12} =\frac{6}{12}= \frac{1}{ 2}\\ \\x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta }}{2a} =\frac{7+\sqrt{1}}{2*6}=\frac{7+1}{12} =\frac{8}{12}= \frac{2}{ 3}$

At the start of the year a summer holiday to Spain cost £650. It increased by 11% in

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Final cost = £779

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Cost of summer holiday = £650

Amount increased by 11%

Increased cost = 11% of 650

Increased cost = $\frac{11}{100}*650$

Increased cost = 0.11 * 650 = £71.50

Amount after increment = 650 + 71.50 = £721.50

Further increase = 8%

Amount = 0.08 * 721.50 = £57.72

Final cost = 721.50 + 57.72 = £779.22

Thus,

Final cost = £779
