Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add up all the values for the height and divide by 9. do the same for the leaf scars.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer we first multiply 129 by 0.7 since the price descresed 30 percent. each percent is equal to 0.01.
129 * 0.7 = 90.3
Then we multiply 90.3 by 1.0875 since that is the sales tax
90.3 * 1.0875 = 98.2
so the cost is 98.2
To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
