Hey! So first you'd convert the 5% to a decimal. Which would be 0.05. Then, multiply the original cost (170) by the decimal (0.05). You would get 8.5. Subtract that number from the original cost and you get $161.50 as the final answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

7 out of 190 trees are infected with insects

so

using proportion

Find out about how many of the 950 hemlock trees in a state park are infected with insects

\frac{190}{7}=\frac{950}{x} \\\\x=7(950)/190\\\\x= 35

Find the slope-intercept form of an equation for the line that passes through (–1, 2) and is parallel to y = 2x – 3.
sammy [17]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis.

By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be m = 2.

y = 2x + b

We substitute the given point to find b:

2 = 2 (-1) + b\\2 = -2 + b\\2 + 2 = b\\b = 4

Finally the line is:

y = 2x + 4

Answer:

y = 2x + 4
