Y = 9x - 5...the slope here is 9...a parallel line will have the same slope.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 9
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
-4 = 9(5) + b
-4 = 45 + b
-4 - 45 = b
-49 = b
so ur parallel line is : y = 9x - 49

y = 9x - 5...slope is 9. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. All that means is " flip " the slope and change the sign. So the slope we need is -1/9.

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1/9
(5,-4)...x = 5 and y = -4
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
-4 = -1/9(5) + b
-4 = -5/9 + b
-4 + 5/9 = b
-36/9 + 5/9 = b
- 31/9 = b

so ur perpendicular line is : y = -1/9x - 31/9

A book sold 39,300 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6.3% of the number of copies sold to date. How

konstantin123 [22]

Hi there! So 39,300 copies of a book were sold on debut month of release, and that represents 6.3% of all copies sold to date. To find the total amount of copies sold, we can write and solve a proportion. Set it up like this:

39,300/x = 6.3/100

We set it up like this because 39,300 is part of the total amount, and it represents 6.3% of the total book sales. Percents are parts of 100, which is why 6.3 is above 100. Let's cross multiply the values. 39,300 * 100 is 3,930,000. 6.3 * x is 6.3x. that makes 3,930,000 = 6.3x. Divide each side by 6.3 to isolate the x. 6.3x/6.3 cancels out. 3,930,000/6.3 is 623,809.5238 or 623,810 when rounded to the nearest whole number. There. The total amount of copies sold to date is about 623,810.
