Functions are basically another way of expressing a way to get y or x or anything (mostly used for graphs) You will see functions like <em>f(x)=</em> <em>23y-5 </em>(that was made up). Basically the number in the parenthesis in front of the f is what you're finding. So the equation after the equal sign is how to find whatever is being found. So in this case, finding x can be pretty easy. By the way, when graphing this you have x as the run and y as the rise. <em />

Mary Beth and her family ate a meal in a restaurant the cost of the meal was $34.50 the sales tax was 8% of the cost of the meal

nikdorinn [45]

The total cost would be the tax plus the cost of the meal. In order to find the tax you can set up a proportion: 8/100=x/34.5. Then you can cross multiply: (100•x)=(8•34.5). Then we have 100x=276. Divide both sides by 100 and we have x=2.76. This added to the 34.50 is equal to 37.26. Hope this helps!

Given the line y = − 2 5 x + 3, determine if the given line is parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Select the correct answer fo

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

(a) Neither

(a) Perpemdicular

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine the relationship between given lines

(a)

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 3$

and

$y = \frac{2}{5}x + 7$

An equation written in form: $y=mx + b$ has the slope:

$m \to slope$

So, in both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{2}{5}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{2}{5} \ne -1$

(b)

$5y + 2x = -10$

and

$-5x + 2y = 4$

Write equations in form: $y=mx + b$

$5y + 2x = -10$

$5y = -2x +10$

Divide by 5

$y = -\frac{2}{5}x +2$

$-5x + 2y = 4$

$2y = 5x + 4$

Divide by 2

$y = \frac{5}{2}x + 2$

In both equations:

$m_1 = -\frac{2}{5}$

$m_2 = \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be parallel

$m_1 = m_2$

This is false in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} \ne \frac{5}{2}$

For both lines to be perpendicular

$m_1 * m_2 = -1$

This is true in this case, because:

$-\frac{2}{5} * \frac{5}{2} = -1$

Cancel out 2 and 5

$-1 = -1$
