So the watch costs 75.99 including sales tax.

The sales tax is 6.25% of the value of the watch.

100% of the value of the watch is n.

100% + 6.25% of the value of the watch is 106.25/100 * n = 75.99

Let's calculate the sales tax...

$\frac { 106.25 }{ 100 } \cdot n=75.99\\ \\ 106.25\cdot n=7,599\\ \\ n=\frac { 7,599 }{ 106.25 }$

$\\ \\ =71.52\\ \\ Sales\quad Tax\quad is\quad Therefore:\\ \\ 75.99\quad -\quad 71.52\quad =\quad 4.47$

If the slope of a line is -1 and two points on the line are (-9, 3) and (-10, r), what is the value of r?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$r=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of the line is -1.

We also know that the line passes through (-9, 3) and (-10, r).

We want to find the value of r.

First, let's figure out the equation of our line. We can use the point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is a point.

So, let's substitute -1 for m. Since we know the point (-9, 3), let's use this for (x₁, y₁).

Substitute:

$y-(3)=-1(x-(-9))$

Simplify:

$y-3=-(x+9)$

Distribute:

$y-3=-x-9$

Add 3 to both sides. So, our equation is:

$y=-x-6$

It passes through (-10, r) and we want to find the value of r. So, let's substitute -10 for x and r for y, since -10 is our x and r is our y. So:

$r=-(-10)-6$

Evaluate for r. Distribute:

$r=10-6$

Subtract:

$r=4$

So, the value of r is 4.

And we're done!

1. Triangle STU with vertices S(-4, 2) T(5, -1),

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

S’ (-5,-3)

T’ (4,-6)

U’ (-3,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, we want to apply the given transformation rule of the axes to get the coordinates of the images

The rule is that we subtract 1 from the x-coordinates and also subtract 5 from the y-coordinates

Thus, we proceed as follows;

S’ = (-4-1, 2-5) = (-5,-3)

T’ = (5-1, -1-5) = (4,-6)

U’ = (-2-1,-2-5) = (-3,-7)
