The path of the car and the limo are straight lines.
To determine the equation of the lines of the paths, the slopes must be determined.
Let m1 = slope of car
m2 = slope of limo
so,
m1 = (7 + 7)/(5 + 2) = 2
m2 = (-5 -9)/(3+4) = -2
therefore the equations are
car:
2x – y = 2(5) –(7)
2x – y = 3
Limo:
2x + y = 2(3) – 5
2x + y = 1
Solving the intersection of the equations (using a calculator)
x = 1
y = -1
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Get 15% of 870:
First, get 10 percent of 870, which is 87, then half that, which is 43.5
Get the 87 and add the 43.5 on it, to get the full 15%, you end up with $130.5, which is the monthly payment.
(Only problem is that im pretty sure you put an extra 0, because if you just wrote 87 dollar's then you would've got 13.05, the actual answer, but if you add an extra 0 then you end up with 130$, just to let you know.)
