Answer:
a = 6, b = - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand the left side and compare the coefficients of like terms to those on the right side.
a(4x - 10) ← distribute parenthesis
= 4ax - 10a
Compare to 24x + 5b , then
4a = 24 ( divide both sides by 4 )
a = 6
Then
5b = - 10a = - 10(6) = - 60 ( divide both sides by 5 )
b = - 12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope:
when the given points are
and 
Plug in A(8,3) and B(4,8)

Therefore, the slope of AB is
.

Percent decrease { (original number - new number) / original number....x 100
percent decrease : (75 - 25) / 75....x 100
50 / 75...x 100
0.666 x 100
66.6% decrease <==not sure if u need it rounded ?
If you wanted to use the numeric key pad to divide 100 by 2, you would type D. 100/2. This is because the / sign is used for division on like a calculator or on the web page. It also can stand for a fraction but here it would stand for dividing. 100/2 = 100 ÷ 2.
