The population of a country has been decreasing for several decades. In​ 1990, the population was about 165 million people. In​

2010, the population was about 158 million people. Determine the percent decrease in the​ country's population during this time period.

To find percent decrease and increase you must subtract the original value (old value) with the new value. Then divide the value you get by the original value and multiply by 100:

165-158 = 7

7÷ 165 × 100 = 4.2424....% or 4.2% rounded to 2 significant figures.

Tell whether the system has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
nadya68 [22]
X=-7y+34
x+7y=32

To begin with make the two problems the same kind of problem. By adding 7y on both sides for the first problem.
x+7y=34
x+7y=32

So the correct answer would be no solution because it's the same problem and it can't equal to different answers.

4. Two points on a line are (-10, 1) and (5, -5). If
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope between the two given points

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

(-10,1),(5,-5)

substitute in the formula

m=\frac{-5-1}{5+10}

m=\frac{-6}{15}

Simplify

m=-\frac{2}{5}

step 2

Find the x-coordinate of another point

we have

(x,-3)

we know that

If the other point is on the line, then the slope between the other point and any of the other two points must be the same

so

Find the slope between the points

(x,-3),(5,-5)

Remember that

m=-\frac{2}{5}

substitute in the formula

-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{-5+3}{5-x}

-\frac{2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5-x}

the denominators must be the same

5=5-x

x=0

therefore

The x-coordinate of another point is zero

What is the image of (0,-8)(0,−8) after a reflection over the line y=-xy=−x?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

(8, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

under a reflection in the line y = - x

a point (x, y ) → (- y, - x ) , then

(0, - 8 ) → (8, 0 )
