We know the equation of a line is y=mx+b. We know the slope (m) is -2 and all we need is the intercept (b).
Since we know one point, we can plug in 6 for x and 3 for y (along with -2 for m) in our equation and then solve for b.
3= -2*6 + b
3= -12 + b
15 = b
Since we now know the intercept we can now write our equation:
y= -2x + 15
120% of 12 is 14.4.I got this by doing this:
12/x=100/120
<span>(12/x)*x=(100/120)*x - </span>we multiply both sides of the equation by x
<span>12=0.833333333333*x - </span>we divide both sides of the equation by (0.833333333333) to get x
<span>12/0.833333333333=x </span>
<span>14.4=x </span>
<span>x=14.4</span>
Answer: Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in the form of "slope-interception" has the following form:

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the interception of the line with the y axis.
In this case we know that the line has a slope of -2. Then
.
We also know that the line intercepts the axis y at the point (0, 3) therefore we know that:
.
Finally the equation of the line will be:
If we add 2x on both sides of the equation we get:
The answer is the option D
Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form):
. <em>$2500 is the 10% raise.</em>
Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together:
. <u>$27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.</u>
Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000.
. <em>$2750 is your 10% cut.</em>
Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500.
. <u>$24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.</u>
Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000.
. Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is <em>not</em> how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%:
. <u>Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.</u>
