The slope is 2/-2, so -1. The y-intercept is 2. So, y=-x+2
25 is 5 more than 20 which is 25% more since 5/20 = 1/4 = 25%
To check (1.25 * 20 = 25)
They are both correct 8/4 simplified is 2. 1/4 times 8 equals 8/4 or 2
The line we are searching for has the same slope because both lines are parallel.
The given equation y = 2x + 8 has a slope of 2.
We need the point-slope formula, the slope 2 andbthe given point.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 2(x -(-3))
y - 2 = 2(x + 3)
y - 2 = 2x + 6
We now solve for y.
y = 2x + 6 + 2
The equation we want is y = 2x + 8.
500x-y?
Well what x or y, you need that do this problem. But if not then it could be just 500- xy
