If you draw a line lable the line -10 to 10 find -7 on the number line then count 3 units away from -7 and you will come up with your answer to the problem
You can create a right angled triangle.
Find the hypotenuse.
The third point of the triangle is (1,0)
using pythagoras, the value of a is 2, b is 3. 2^2 +3^2 = 13.
Therefore the distance between the two points is
Translation of 2 units left, and a reflection across the x axis :)
Y=mx+b, the b is your y-intercept so just rearrange your equation
y=(3/7)x+(2/7)
your y-intercept would be b) (2/7)
So first, we want to find the total decrease on the number.
Since it was first decreased by 50% and then 10%, we can just multiply the two together to find what 10% of 50% is. I find it easier when they're both fractions, or 1/2 and 1/10.
1/2 * 1/10 = 1/20
So one quarter is 1/4, or 5/20.
1/20 is 4/20 less then 5/20.
1/20 is 30 less then 1/4, then 4/20 must equal 30.
4/20 is also 1/5.
So just multiply 30 by 5, to get 150 as your number. (1/5 * 5 = 5/5)
