Answer:

m=7/4 or 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the equation:

y₂-y₁

m= -------

x₂-x₁

The coordinates (0,-5) are the first pair, so:

0=x₁

-5=y₁

The coordinates (4,2) are the second pair, so:

4=x₂

2=y₂

Substitute those in, and you get:

2-(-5)

m= ---------

4-0

Simplify and solve:

2+5 7

m= ------ = ---- or 1.75

4 4

The men s clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each that was selling very slowly. To stimulate sales of these

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The answer is $3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The men's clothing buyer had a group of 50 jackets priced at $250 each.

Total price of jackets = $50\times250=12500$ dollars

The buyer reduced the price of the jackets in that group to $200 and 40 jackets were sold.

So, the price for selling 40 jackets is = $40\times200=8000$ dollars

Remaining jackets = $50-40=10$

These were sold at $150 each, totaling to = $10\times150=1500$ dollars

So, overall money earned by reducing prices both time = $8000+1500=9500$ dollars

And the markdown in dollars = (original price before reducing) minus (educed total price)

= $12500-9500=3000$ dollars

So, the answer is $3000.

spayn [35]

Answer:

Answer = 93.6

Step-by-step explanation:

frist multipy 9 x 13 to get 117 than divided it by 2 = 58.5, than times it by 3 since there is three sides.

(58.5 x 3 is 175.5)

Than for the base multipy 7.8 x 9 = 70.2, but since its a tri, divided it by 2 = 35.1.

Add 58.5 and 35.1 to get 93.6
