For a percentage question setup is like this:
part = percentage * whole

part = 72
percentage = 80% = 0.8

72 = 0.8 * whole
whole = 72/0.8 = 90

On a coordinate plane, 2 straight lines are shown. The first solid line has a positive slope and goes through (0, negative 2) an

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the equation of the first inequality

Find the equation of the first solid line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,-2) and (2,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0+2}{2-0}$

$m=\frac{2}{2}$

$m=1$

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

$m=1$

$b=-2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

$y=x-2$

Remember that

Everything to the left of the solid line is shaded

The inequality is

$y\geq x-2$

step 2

Find the equation of the second inequality

Find the equation of the second dashed line

we have the ordered pairs

(0,2) and (4,0)

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{0-2}{4-0}$

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

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

The equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

we have

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

$b=2$ ---> the y-intercept is given

substitute

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

Remember that

Everything below and to the left of the line is shaded

The inequality is

$y$

Rewrite

Multiply by 2 both sides

$2y$

$x+2y$

therefore

The system of inequalities is

$y\geq x-2$

$x+2y$

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

What's the range of the function y= -2(2)^x+2

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply substitute the x and y values into the equation, Infinity is a number that gets closer & closer to zero and the y-intercept is always 2.

Infinity is a number that gets closer & closer to zero and the y-intercept is always 2.

y=-2(2)(-infity)+2

y=2
