Hello!

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Now, we first can find the slope. We know the line is parallel to y = 2/5x - 2, and parallel lines <u>always have the same slope.</u> Therefore, we now know that the slope (or m) is 2/5. Substitute that in the equation.

y = 2/5x + b

Finally, we are given a point. We can substitute (-5, -3) into the equation, and then solve for b.

x = -5, y = -3

-3 = 2/5 (-5) + b

-3 = -2 + b

-1 = b

Now, we know what b is. Substitute this into the equation.

Therefore, y = 2/5x - 1 is our final equation.

Hope this helps!

A shopkeeper buys two types of tea one at $20 for 10 kg and the other at $23 for 10 kg. He mixes the two types and the mixture i

lorasvet [3.4K]

Let us take the case of first type of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea one = $20
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea one = (20/10) dollars
   = 2 dollars
Now let us take the case of the second kind of tea
Cost of 10 kg of tea = $23
Then
Cost of 1 kg of tea = (23/10) dollars
   = 2.3 dollars
So
The mixture of 1 kg of tea one
and 1 kg of second type of tea will cost = (2.0 + 2.3) dollars
      = 4.3 dollars
Then the cost of 2kg mixture of tea costs = 4.3 dollars
So
The cost of 10 kg mixture will cost = (4.3/2) * 10 dollars
   = 4.3 * 5 dollars
      = 21.5 dollars
Then
The amount of profit made by selling 10 kg tea at $38 = (38 - 21.5) dollars
   = 16.5 dollars
So
Percentage of profit made = (16.5/21.5) * 100
   = 1650/21.5
   = 76.74 percent
So the percentage of profit made is 76.74%.
