Hey there,

To find percent of error you will start by subtracting 270 from 302

302 - 270 = 32

32 • 100 = 3200

3200 / 270 = 11.9

11.9 rounds to 12% so
about 12%

Hope I helped :)

Solve the following system of equations. What is the y value of the solution?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5y - 10 = 0

X = 4y - 8

since x is given as = 4y - 8 we can use this in first equation

replace x with 4y - 8

x + 5y - 10 = 0 ➡ 4y - 8 + 5y - 10 = 0 add like terms

9y - 18 = 0 add 18 to both sides of the equation

9y = 18 divide both sides by 9

y = 2

Write an equation in standard form of the line that passes through the given points:
Dafna1 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a line is Ax+By=C

First, we need to find the slope, or change in y over change in x. For the first one, this is

\frac{6-(-2)}{2-2}, which is impossible to find as we cannot divide by 0, meaning that this is constant horizontally -- in this case, x=2. Thus, we have 1*x+0*y=2.

For the second one, we can find the slope by getting

\frac{0-4}{3-(-3)} =\frac{-4}{6 }  = \frac{-2}{3}. We can then take the point (3,0) (it can be any point on the line) and get our equation to be y-0 = (-2/3) (x-3). Converting this to standard form, we can expand this to get

y= (-2/3)*x +2

(-2/3)*x+1*y = 2
