You have to take the percentage of the original price and subtract it to find the reduced price
Answer:
slope is -2 and the y-intercept is 12
Step-by-step explanation:
a key thing to remember: x is always equal to 0 when finding the y-intercept.
so if you look at the table for where 0 is, you get the point (0,12) meaning the y-intercept is 12.
to find the slope use the equation: slope= change in y/change in x
you can use any two points to find this.
lets take the points of the x-intercept (6,0) and the y-intercept (0,12)
12-0/0-6
12/-6
-2 = slope
Pythagoras theorem: leg 1 squared + leg 2 squared = hypotenuse squared
In the diagram, the triangle has angles 90 and 45. So the other angle in the triangle must be 45 degrees as well. (180 - 90 -45 = 45)
This means it is an isosceles triangle (since two angles are the same), so the two legs have the same length.
So we can say that length of leg1 = x, and the length of leg2 also equals x
Now let's use pythagoras' theorem:
leg1 = x
leg2 = x
hypotenuse = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 256
x^2 = 128
x = √(128)
x = 8√2
