For this case we have an equation of a line of the form:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the equation:

$y = - \frac {1} {2} x + \frac {1} {4}$

So, we have:

$m = - \frac {1} {2}\\b = \frac {1} {4}$

Answer:

The slope is $- \frac {1} {2}$

Answer:

120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance the gravel covers is the total distance times the percentage that the gravel covers

We know the gravel covers 66 ft and the percentage is 55%

distance gravel = total distance * percentage

66 = total distance * 55%

66 = total distance *.55

Divide each side by .55

66/.55 = total distance *.55/.55

120 = total distance

What's the slope for coordinates (-5,-5) (5,3)?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

slope = (difference in y)/(difference in x)

slope = (-5 - 3)/(-5 - 5)

slope = -8/(-10)

slope = 4/5

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours. Together the

The rate charged per hour by each mechanic was: x = 75 $ / hr and y = 115 $ / hr.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

Given;

The first mechanic worked for 20 hours, and the second mechanic worked for 15 hours.

Together they charged a total of $3225.

For this case we have the following variables:

x be the amount of $ / hr that the mechanic obtains 1.

y be the amount of $ / hr obtained by mechanic 2.

An equation to express this would be:

x + y = 190

20x + 15y = 3225

Solving the system of equations we have:

20x + 15(190 -x) = 3225

20x + 2850 - 15x = 3225

5x = 375

x = 75

simililary

y = 190 - x

y = 115

Hence, the rate charged per hour by each mechanic was:

x = 75 $ / hr

y = 115 $ / hr

An electronics store makes a profit of $72 for every standard CD player sold and $90 for every portable CD sold. the managers ta

Alisiya [41]

s -> no: of standard CD players sold

p -> no: of portable CD players sold.

Profit Per Standard CD player=72$

Profit per Portable CD player =90$

Target Amount =360$

In short: The combined sales of Both the CD player's must exceed or atleast become equal to 360$ to acquire the target.

Thus; the inequality can be stated as:

 72(s) + 90(p) ≥360

-> 36(s) + 45(p) ≥180

-> 12(s) +15(p) ≥ 90

 _______________

->| 4(s) + 5(p) ≥ 30 |
