1.5%+(.5P) : P=# of people in squad

1 answer:

5 0

The problem has missing information. But, i'll try to answer it.

1.5% should be converted into a decimal number before it can be added to 0.50P.

1.5% / 100% = 0.015

0.015 + 0.5P = 0

0.5P = -0.015
0.5P / 0.5 = -0.015/0.5
P = -0.03

To check:

0.015 + 0.5(-0.03) = 0
0.015 - 0.015 = 0
0 = 0

Since no information about the number of people in the squad is given, let us assume that the squad is composed of 30 people, So, P = 30

0.015 + (0.5*30) = 0.015 + 15 = 15.015

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two points on a line $(-6,-5)$ and $(-4,-4)$ . We are asked to write an equation passing through these points.

We will write our equation in slope-intercept form of equation $y=mx+b$ , where,

m = Slope of line,

b = Initial value or the y-intercept.

Let us find slope of given line using slope formula.

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Let point $(-6,-5)=(x_1,y_1)$ and point $(-4,-4)=(x_2,y_2)$ .

$m=\frac{-4-(-5)}{-4-(-6)}$

$m=\frac{-4+5}{-4+6}$

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Now, we will substitute $m=\frac{1}{2}$ and coordinates of point $(-6,-5)$ in slope-intercept form of equation as:

$-5=\frac{1}{2}*(-6)+b$

$-5=-3+b$

$-5+3=-3+3+b$

$-2=b$

Upon substituting $m=\frac{1}{2}$ and $b=-2$ in slope-intercept form of equation, we will get our required equation as:

$y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$

Therefore, our required equation would be $y=\frac{1}{2}x-2$ .
