Answer:
y = -2x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have direct variation means
y =kx
We know y and x
10 = k (-5)
Solve for k by diving by -5
10/-5 = k (-5)/-5
-2 = k
y = -2x
Hello there! So, let's do this a bit at a time. Mike's Bikes sells a bike for $300, but gives a 25% discount for any bike in the store. To find out how much he would pay for the bike, multiply 300 by 75% (0.75). This is because you are still paying 75% of the original price for that bike. When you do, you get 225. That's $225 for the bike at Mike's Bikes. Now, the one at Cycle Center sells a bike for $275, but gives a rebate of $40 after purchasing the bike. A rebate is basically a refund: you get money paid back to you. In this case, we would subtract 40 from 275, because you're basically getting paid back some of what you did pay. 275 - 40 is 235. That's $235 for the bike at Cycle Center. I'll write the prices of the bikes out to make it easier to read.
Mike's Bikes: $225
Cycle Center: $235
Okay. so when you look at the prices for the mountain bikes, you see that the bike at Mike's Bikes is $10 cheaper than the bike at Cycle Center. Dante should purchase his mountain bike at Mike's Bikes, because he will pay less money there. The Cycle Center does give $40 back, but Mike's Bikes has the bike that costs less. 225 < 235.
I got 7x+4 because you distribute then add the X's and the whole numbers together.
7*4=28
28+7m=49
49-28=21
7m=21
21/7=3
m=3
Answer:
y = - 2x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallels line have the same slope, when an equation is in the form y= mx + b, m is the slope. In this problem slope = - 2
Now with the slope what is missing is the y-intercept, the problem says that the line contains the point (-2, 5), replacing that point in the equation you can solve it to find the y-intercept
y = mx + b
5 = (-2)(-2) + b
5 = 4 + b
1 + b
y = - 2x +1
