Ok since your given two points of (-5,2) and origin which is always (0,0) you can find the slope with this formula of y2-y1/x2-x1 plug them in the formula and you should get 0-2/0-5 which is equal to -2/-5 or 2/5 negative signs cancel out now you found your slope but remember the promblem was asking for perpendicular slope to get this you simply flip or reciprocate the slope and take take the opposite sign in our case the slope is 2/5 but the perpendicular version is -5/2 hope this helps.

A $50.00 pair of shoes is discounted 20%. If sales tax is 8%, what is the amount of tax paid?
sleet_krkn [62]
Since sales tax goes after the discount, it would be 3 dollars and 20 cents. Taking 50 dollars and 20% is discounted (50*.2), which would be 10 dollars taken off. It would be 40 dollars shoes and then you apply sales tax by multiplying 40 by .08, giving you the amount of tax paid.

Xavier bought a shirt that was on sale for 20% off the original price. He also used a coupon that gave him an extra 15% off the
just olya [345]
To find the sale price multiply the original cost by the sale percentage. (37x.2= 7.4) subtract this discount from the total (37-7.4= 29.6) this is your sale price. Now multiply this by the other percentage (29.6x.15= 4.44) (29.6-4.44= 25.16) $25.16 is your final answer

What is the value of the expression?
Blababa [14]

Answer:

- \frac{9}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add the numerator fractions.

2/5 + 3/10

Here we have to find LCD, the LCD of 5 and 10 is 10

                                         (2*2) + 3         4 + 3

Therefore,  2/5 + 3/10 = ---------------  = ------------------

                                          10                     10

= 7/10

Step 2: Now substitute 2/5 + 3/10 = 7/10 in the given fraction, we get


 7/10

=  ----------

     -7/9

If we have fraction over fraction, we have to find the reciprocal of denominator fraction and multiply.

The reciprocal of -7/9 is -9/7

Step 3: Now multiply 13/10 and -9/7

= (7/10) x (-9/7)

= -9/10

=-9/10

The answer is  -\frac{9}{10}

Which best explains how you know that P(2, 7) is on the same line as Q(7, 4) and R(12, 1)?
Helen [10]

Answer:

See explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

The best explanation is noticing that in order to get from the point R (12, 1) to the point Q (7, 4) we move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. And to go from point Q (7, 4) to point P (2, 7) we do exactly the same: move 5 units to the left and 3 units up. That means that these points are all connected via the same rate of change:  - 3/5, which is in fact the slope of the line the three points belong to.
