Answer:

y = -x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the slope:

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

(x₁, y₁) will be (8, -16)

(x₂, y₂) will be (6, -14)

Plug in values:

m = \frac{-14 - -16}{6-8}

simplify:

m = \frac{2}{-2}

m = -1

plug values into y = mx + b:

-16 = (-1)(8) + b

solve for b:

b - 8 = -16

b = -8

rewrite the equation:

y = -1x - 8

y = -x - 8

Two friends, 7 miles apart, start walking toward each other, and they meet in an hour. If one boy walks 1 mile farther in an hou
Xelga [282]
So lets say the distance one boy travels is 'x', you can set up an equation like this:
x + x + 1 = 7
2x +1 = 7
2x = 6
x = 3
So one boy walks 3 miles in one hour, and the other walks 4 miles in one hour.
Therefore, their speeds are 3 miles per hour and 4 miles per hour respectively.

)Alex and Lara have $21.00 each to spend at a book fair, where all students receive a 35% discount. They both want to purchase a
STALIN [3.7K]

You take the discount first. Alex is completely right. Laura is if and only if that 110% is really just 10%.  So I'll use Alex's method because it is for certain correct.

28.5*35/100 = 9.975 (which is the amount of the discount)

28.5 - 9.975 = 18.525 (which is the amount paid with the discount factored in.)

Now you take 10% of this amount and add it on which gives 18.525 * 10/100=1.825 which is the amount of the tax.

Add this on to the selling price 18.525 + 1.825 = 20.3775 and now is the time to do your rounding.

The cash register will ring up 20.38 which is just under $21.00

Answer: $20.38
