Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope formula y - y_1 = m(x-x_1). Find m by using the slope formula with the points.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{1--3}{-5-7} =\frac{4}{-12} =-\frac{1}{3}

Since the line is parallel, it will have the same slope.

Substitute m = -1/3 and (-3,-4).

y --4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x --3)\\y + 4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x+3)\\y +4 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 1\\y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

There is a 10% off sale on laptop computers. If someone saves $35 on a laptop, what was its original cost?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The original cost is $350

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

original cost of computer is x

There is a 10% off sale on laptop computers

So, amount saved is

=\frac{10}{100}x=0.10x

now, we are given

someone saves $35 on a laptop

so, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

0.10x=35

we can divide both sides by 0.10

and we get

x=350

So,

The original cost is $350
