Markup means they sell it for that percentage more than they bought it for. First let's calculate how much they will mark it up for:
Convert 87% into a decimal(87/100):
Multiply:
This is how much they'll mark it up, now let's add it to how much they bought it for to find out the selling price:
Answer:
y = 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=x-7 this is because you subtracted the x to both sides. Since y is a negative, you divide by -1 causing the -x to turn positive and the positive seven to be negative seven.
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
(X1=1, y1=7) and (x2= -4, y2 =-8)
Slope = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-8-7)/(-4-1)= -15/-5=3
Slope is 3
