Answer:
y= 1/2x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
2y - x = 8
First find the slope
2y = x+8
Divide by 2
2y/2 = x/2 +8/2
y = 1/2 x +4
The slope is 1/2 ( y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)
When lines are parallel they have the same slope)
Using y = mx+b
y =1/2x+b
Substituting the point (4,-1) into the equation
-1 =1/2(4)+b
-1 = 2+b
-3 =b
The equation of the line is
y= 1/2x-3
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=a
a=x+y
x−y=b
b=x−y
Good luck honey!
Answer:
The other number is 2 if the given number is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
One of the numbers is 15, correct?
Let the other number be x.
15 × x = 30
x = 30/15
x = 2.
Let's check:
15 × 2 = 30.
30 = 30.
Correct!
