Answer:
87.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
It decreased by 16 - 2 or 14, and since he wrote 16 tickets last week, the answer is 14/16 in percent form, or 7/8 = 87.5%.
Answer: Slope: 4 Y-intercept: 0
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -1 + 3/8x
2x - 5y = 6
Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.
2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6
2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6
2x - 15/8x = 1
16/8x - 15/8x = 1
1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself
x = 8
Plug x into either of the equations.
y = -1 + 3/8(8)
y = -1 + 3
y = 2
2(8) - 5y = 6
16 - 5y = 6
-5y = -10
y = 2
(8,2)
original points (-2,0), (2,0), (0,2)
new points (-6.25,0),(6.25,0),(0,6.25)
the point (0,6.25) is the vertex that lies on y -axis
