Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (5-8)/(-2-3)

= -3/-5

=3/5

The slope is 3/5

$\bf c(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{8})\qquad d(\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-8}{-2-3}\implies \cfrac{-3}{-5}\implies \cfrac{3}{5}$

Dave receives a salary of $200 a week plus a commission of 10% of his weekly sales. An equation y=mx+b represents Dave’s weekly

eduard

Answer:
Dave makes $350

Explanation:
In order to find this answer, we must first establish the equation for his earnings.
We use slope intercept form:
y = mx + b,
where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Since the problem states that his commission percentage is the slope and his base salary is the y-intercept, we can use them in the equation to get the following: 
y = 0.1x + 200.

Now knowing that the x is the amount he sells, we can use the $1500 as x to find his total pay for the week:.
y = 0.1(1500) + 200,
y = 150 + 200,
y = 350.

Find the minimum or maximum value of the function g(x)= -(x-2)^2-3

Nady [450]

Neato

assuming you mean
$g(x)=-1(x-2)^2-3$
remember
in form
$f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k$
a is leading coficient
(h,k) is vertex
k will be the minimum or max value of the function
if a is positive, then the parabola opens up and k is minimum
if a is negative, then the parabola opens down and k is max

given
$g(x)=-1(x-2)^2-3$
a is negative
the parabola opens down and k is the max value
it is -3
the max value is -3, which occors at x=2
g(2)=-3 is max

A teacher plans a simulation to estimate the probability that a student will pick a vowel out of a bag of 26 tiles, each with a

OleMash [197]

Answer:

No, because the probabilities of drawing a vowel versus a constant are not equally likely.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each number in a random number generator is equally likely. If she assigns only the number 1 to vowels and only the number 2 to consonants, she will get results showing that they are equally likely.

In reality, 5 of the 26 letters are vowels (not including y). The teacher should assign numbers 1 through 5 to vowels, and numbers 6 through 26 to consonants. This will be a fair representation.
