You can manipulate the number to make them easier to handle
3 and 1/3 times 12=36+4=40
6 and 1/4 times 12=72+3=75
so is 40=100% then wha is 75
40 and 75
divide by 2
20 and 37.5
multiply by 5
100 and 187.5
100=100% and 187.5=187.5%
187.5-100=87.5%
87.5% increase
Slope = (-3+4)/(0+5) = 1/5
passing (-2,2)
y = mx +b
2 = 1/5(-2) + b
2 = -2/5 + b
so b = 2 +2/5 = 12/5
equation
y = 1/5x + 12/5
answer is B y = 1/5x + 12/5
Remember you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
a=age
500 reduced by 2 times a is equal to 388
500-2a=388
minus 500 both sides
-2a=-112
divide both sides by -2
a=56
you are 56
Explanation:
The equation for this problem can be modeled in y = mx + b form.
m represents the rate of change and b represents the initial value or constant.
y = 10x + 20
x represents the number of hours he spent delivering newspapers
y is his total money after whatever number of hours he worked
The rate is 10, because it determines how much money he earns for each hour.
The y-intercept is 20, representing the starting amount of money in his bank account.
