The other part of your ratio is missing
His total sales were "x"
now, we know that 3.5% of "x" plus 5% of "x", will add up to his total commission, including sales of 6500 or less or more
so the commission for 6500 or less, is 3.5% of "x" or (3.5/100)*x -> 0.035x
the commission for above 6500 is 5% or (5/100) * x --> 0.05x
we know, that both commissions added together, are $415
thus
0.035x + 0.05x = 415 <----- solve for "x"
The empty jug weighs 0.75 lb
With the 3c, the total weighs 2.25 lb. That means:
3c + empty jug = 3c + 0.75 = 2.25
3c = 2.25 - 0.75
3c = 1.5
and 1c = 0.5 (so c is a constant -or the slope-)
Then the equation is:
y = 0.5x + 0.75
Answer:
slope = -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of three or more points are said to be collinear if they all lie on the same straight line.
We have been given the following collinear set of points;
P(0, 3), Q(2, 0), R(4, -3)
This implies that P, Q, and R lie on the same line.
The slope of a line is defined as; (change in y)/(change in x)
Using the points P and Q, the slope of the line is calculated as;
(0-3)/(2-0) = -3/2 = -1.5
