Slope of the line is -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are,

(-5.5,6.1),(-2.5,3.1)

Here,

$x_{1} = -5.5 ,\ \ \ x_{2}=-2.5\\y_{1} = 6.1,\ \ \ y_{2}=3.1$

Slope = m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x{1}}$

Putting values;

$m=\frac{3.1-6.1}{-2.5-(-5.5)}\\m=\frac{-3}{-2.5+5.5}\\m=\frac{-3}{3}\\m=-1$

Slope of the line is -1.

The fraction is written as 3/4.
If you divide 3 by 4 you will get the decimal.

Jackie has $32.50 to buy a new pair of jeans. The pair she likes costs $38 but is marked “20% off ticketed price.” The sales tax

ohaa [14]

Hello! So, the jeans are 20% off of the original price. While she gets 20% off of the jeans, she still has to pay 80% of the price. To find out the discount price, multiply 38 by 80% (0.8). 38 * 0.8 is 30.4 $30.40 is the discount price. There is 5% tax on the item. First off, let's add 1 to the rate. 5% is 0.05 in decimal form. 1 + 0.05 is 1.05. We add 1 to the percentage rate, because adding that and multiplying that amount will bring us straight to the new price. Now, multiply 30.4 and 1.05 together to get the new price. When you do, you get 31.92. $31.92 is the price of the jeans. 31.92 < 32.50. Jackie has enough money to buy the jeans.

Given the graph of a function f. Identify the function by name. Then Graph, state domain & range in set notation:A) f(x) +2B

WARRIOR [948]

The function in the graph has the name of square function.

The domain of a function is all values of x the function can have. The domain of this function is all real numbers:

$\mleft\lbrace x\in\R\mright\rbrace$

The range of a function is all values of y the function can have. The range of this function is all positive numbers, including zero:

$\mleft\lbrace y\in\R\mright|y\ge0\}$

In order to graph f(x) + 2, we just need to translate the graph 2 units up. To find the new points, we need to increase all y-coordinates by 2:

(-2, 6), (-1, 3), (0, 2), (1, 3), (2, 6)

Domain: {x ∈ ℝ}

Range: {y ∈ ℝ | y ≥ 2}

Then, in order to graph f(x) - 2, we just need to translate the graph 2 units down. To find the new points, we need to decrease all y-coordinates by 2:

(-2, 2), (-1, -1), (0, -2), (1, -1), (2, 2)

Domain: {x ∈ ℝ}

Range: {y ∈ ℝ | y ≥ -2}
