John decided to look at new and used cars. John found a used car for $6000. A new car is $18000, so what percent of the price of a new car does John pay for a used car? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
Answer:
A. 5-log3 (2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is b since it does not touch the origin! (0,0)
25% is a fourth of something so first round $34.99 to about $35 and just get one fouth of it which would be a little less than $9 but if you put it into the calculator it will tell you that it is about $8.75 (to calculate using the calculator you need to chane the percentage to a decimal and multiply it)
comparing the relation given
thus y= -2x +1 to the general equation of a line
where y= mx + c
where m is the gradient and c is the intercept on the y-axis.
from the question, the gradient is -2 and since the line is perpendicular, the gradient is given as

so substituting the value of m in to the equation

=

as the gradient
equation of line is given by
y - y1 = m( x-x1)
from the question y1= -2 and x1=1
substitute them
y-(-2) = 1/2 (x -1)
y+2 =1/2 (x-1)
multiplying through by 2
2 (y+2) = x-1
2y +4 = x-1
2y =x-1-4
2y =x-5
x -2y -5 = 0
therefore the equation for the line is x-2y -5=0
