James has just sold his motorbike for £1,890. He bought the motorbike for £2,700. What was his percentage loss? %

1 answer:

6 0

£2.700 - £1890 = £810

£ (money) -------------- percentage (%)
2.700 -------------------- 100
810 ----------------------- x

2700*x = 810*100
2700x = 81000
$x = \frac{81000}{2700}$
$\boxed{x = 30}$

Answer:
Percentage loss = 30%

Find the distance between the points (2,8) and (-1,9)

Sphinxa [80]

Use the distance formula: D=sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

Plug in:

D=sqrt((9-8)^2+(-1-2)^2)

D=sqrt(1^2+(-3)^2)

D=sqrt(1+9)

D=sqrt(10)

So the distance is about 3.16 units

Hope this helped!

Find an equation of the line through these points (15,2.2) (5,1.6). Write answer in a slope-intercept form

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

$y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

1) Determine the slope (m)

$m=\frac{\displaystyle y_2-y_1}{\displaystyle x_2-x_1}$ where two given points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Plug in the given points (15,2.2) and (5,1.6):

$m=\frac{\displaystyle 1.6-2.2}{\displaystyle 5-15}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle -0.6}{\displaystyle -10}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 0.6}{\displaystyle 10}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 0.3}{\displaystyle 5}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

$y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b$

Plug in a given point and solve for b:

$1.6=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}(5)+b\\\\1.6=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}+b\\\\1.6-\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}+b-\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}\\\\\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept is $\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}$ . Plug this back into $y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b$ :

$y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}$

I hope this helps!
