The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have

$(r,\ 6),\ (5,\ -4)\\\\m=\dfrac{5}{7}$

Substitute

$\dfrac{-4-6}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\dfrac{-10}{5-r}=\dfrac{5}{7}\qquad|\text{cross multiply}\\\\5(5-r)=(-10)(7)\qquad|\text{use distributive property}\\\\25-5r=-70\qquad|-25\\\\-5r=-95\qquad|:(-5)\\\\\boxed{r=19}$

Answer:

8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

You divided them by 20 which gives you 4. So you take the 3 and multiply by 4 which is 12 bags. And then you do the same for your bags which makes you do 2 times 4 which gives you 8. You take 20 - 12 and that leaves you with 8.

Anita purchased a couch that was priced at $700. She will also have to pay 6% sales tax. How much will she pay in total for the

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$742

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to figure out what 6% of 700 dollars is and then add that to 700. The easiest way to find the percentage of a number is to set it up in the equation:

6/100 = x/700 where 6 is the percentage of 700 (out of 100 because you can only get up to 100 percent in this case) and x is 6 percent of 700. when you cross multiply, you get 100x = 4200. Then you divide both sides by 100 to get x by itself. This will give you x = 42 Add this to 700 for 742 as the total amount that will be paid. Sorry if this first half was a little confusing
