Answer:

   33 1/3 percent smaller

Step-by-step explanation:


The number a exceeds the number b by 50 percent.

a = b + b*.5

a = b(1.5)

Divide by 1.5

a/1.5 = b

2/3a =b



We want to find (a-b)/a  to find the percent decrease

                           (a-2/3a)/a *100percent

                             (1/3a)/a* 100 percent

                                  1/3 * 100 percent

                                     33 1/3 percent smaller

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x + 2y = 12 and passes through the point (-2, 4)?
Aneli [31]

Answer: 5x + 2y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 5x+2y=12 to slope intercept: 2y = 12 - 5x, y = -5x/2 + 6

A parallel line has the same slope, so the line we try to find is y = -5x/2 + b.

Substitute (-2, 4) in and get 4=5+b, so b = -1.

Therefore the answer is y = -5x/2 - 1, or if you want it in the original form it would be 2y = -5x - 2 ---> 5x+2y = -2.

Hope that helped,
