A negative slope means the line would be going downward, so you would go down first (instead of up as with a positive slope), then over right.
Therefore, you would go down 4 (or negative 4 considering you are going down) and right 1.
Rise over run still applies here. Rise over run is a fancy way of saying to put the number (or slope) in fraction form.
-4 as a fraction would be -4/1.
So start at (5,3), go down 4 and over 1, repeatedly and you got it.
**Just remember the rise over run can be confusing with negative slopes.**
Answer:
<em>(a). P(x) = 8x - 112,000 </em>
<em> (b). $80,000 </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
(a). P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 50x - 112,000 - 42x
<em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
(b). P(24,000) = 8(24,000) - 112,000 = <em>80,000</em>
----------------------------------------
(a). <em>P(x) = 8x - 112,000</em>
Answer: -7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
area = 1/2bh.
area = 1/2(x+6)(5)
area = x/2 + 15
area = x/2 = -15
area = x = -7.5
area = -7.5
Answer:
6.2 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Use pythagorean theorem to find b:
b = √(2.8² - 2.7²) = √0.55 = 0.7 (nearest tenth)
Perimeter of triangle = sum of all its sides = 2.8 + 2.7 + 0.7
Perimeter = 6.2 meters
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)
So, 54cm = 2(l+9cm)
=> 54cm = 2l + 18cm
=> 54cm - 18cm = 2l
=> 36cm = 2l
=> 36cm/2 = l
=> 18cm = l
