The amount of last year sales is $ 528400

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the amount of last year sales

Given that,

The total sales at Office Products this year are $713,340, which is 35% more than last year’s sales

Therefore,

This year sales = 35 % more than last year sales

This year sales = 35 % of last year sales + last year sales

713340 = 35 % of x + x

713340 = 35 \% \times x + x\\\\713340 = \frac{35}{100} \times x + x\\\\713340 = 0.35x + x\\\\713340 = 1.35x\\\\\text{Divide both sides of equation by 1.35 }\\\\x = 528400

Thus amount of last year sales is $ 528400

Write the equation of the line passing through points ( -2,-5) and (1,1)
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The equation of the line is:

y=2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

  • (-2, -5)
  • (1, 1)

Finding the slope between the points

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-2,\:-5\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(1,\:1\right)

m=\frac{1-\left(-5\right)}{1-\left(-2\right)}

m=2

We know the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the slope-intercept form

substituting the value m=2 and the point (-2, -5) to find the b-intercept

y=mx+b

-5 = 2(-2) + b

b = -5+4

b = -1

Now, substituting m=2 and b=-1 in the slope-intercept form to get the equation of a line

y=mx+b

y=2x+(-1)

y=2x-1

Thus, the equation of the line is:

y=2x-1
