Answer:

The slope of the given equation y = 5x - 22 is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : equation of line as y = 5x - 22

We have to find the slope of the given equation y = 5x - 22

We know the standard equation of a line is written as y = mx + c , where m is slope and c is y intercept.

So for the given eqaution y = 5x - 22

Comparing with standard equation

we have,

m = 5 and c = - 22

Thus, the slope of the given equation y = 5x - 22 is 5.

Straight lines have the general equation, y=mx+c
where m is slope
in this case=5

A store has clearance items that have been marked down by 60% they having a sale, advertising an additional 30% off clearance it

bagirrra123 [75]

The original price is 100% of the price. If the price is marked 60% off, then you pay 40% of the original price.

An item costs x dollars.

With the 60% off discount, it now costs 40% of x, or 0.4x.

Now you apply a 30% discount.

For the second discount, consider the price 0.4x to be the new original price. If the price is now discounted 30%, you will pay 70% of the new original price.

Start with 0.4x.

Now calculate 70% of 0.4x.

70% of 0.4x = 0.70 * 0.4x = 0.28x

After applying the 60% discount and the 30% discount, the item that originally cost x now costs 0.28x. 0.28x is the same as 28% of x. The amount you pay is 28% of the original price.

Answer: 28%

The mechanic charges $90 for a vehicle inspection plus an additional $35 per hour. If the mechanic works for 8 hours, what will

kvasek [131]

Answer:

$370

Step-by-step explanation:

You already have 90 dollars so we can put that to the side for right now

If you're charged $35 at an hourly rate for 8 hours then you have to multiply the two together

30 x 8 = 240

5 x 8=40

240 + 40=280

Now is when your $90 dollars comes in. Now just add the two together and you'll end up with your final answer

280+90=370

Find the possible values of k if one of the roots of the quadratic equation x^2 - kx + 8 = 0 is twice the other.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

$k=\pm 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is :

$x^2 - kx + 8 = 0$

One of the roots of this equation is twice that of the other. Let the roots are $\alpha \ and\ \beta$ , $\alpha =2\beta$

Sum of roots, $\alpha +\beta =\dfrac{-b}{a}$

$\alpha +\beta =\dfrac{-(-k)}{1}\\\\\alpha +\beta =k\\\\3\beta =k\ .......(1)$

Product of roots,

$\alpha \beta =\dfrac{c}{a}\\\\2\beta ^2=\dfrac{8}{1}\\\\\beta =\pm 2$

If $\beta =\pm2$ ,

$k=3(2)\\\\=\pm 6$

So, the value of k is equal to $\pm 6$ .
