Answer:

That should be 2x + 5y = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to correct this: y + 7 = -⅖(x - 10). Now, first convert to Slope-Intercept Form by moving -7 to the other side of the equivalence symbol to get y = -⅖x + 4, then finally convert to Standard Form by moving ⅖x to the other side of the equivalence symbol to end up with ⅖x + y = 4.. Now, there is an extended step when it comes to fractional coefficients, and that is multiplying the whole equation by the denominator to get rid of the denominator being there in the first place, REALLY ending with 2x + 5y = 20.

BUT, if your assignment says otherwise, then the first looks correct. I hope this helps.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s first look at the y-intercept. Since the equation is in y = mx + b form, we know that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 2, or (0,2). We can narrow down our search by noticing that C and D don’t intersect (0,2). That leaves A and B.

The slope is calculated by (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2) given points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2). The slope for A is (4-0)/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 and the slope for B is (2-0)/(0-(-4)) = 2/4 = 1/2. The slope of B matches the slope that we are looking for. So, the answer is B.

Grace and Bill bought a vacation home for $182,000. A serious medical crisis forced them to sell at $110,000. What was their per

Answer:

Loss percentage = 40% (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost price of home = $182,000

Sales price = $110,000

Find:

Loss percentage

Computation:

Loss = Cost price - Sales price

Loss = $182,000 - $110,000

Loss = $72,000

Loss percentage = [Loss / Cost price]100

Loss percentage = [72,000 / 182,000]100

Loss percentage = 39.5604

Loss percentage = 40% (Approx)
