You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%
The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
Answer:
The perimeter is 38.25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the tra-pezoid is the distance around it.
The length of the bases can be found using the absolute value method.
|RS|=|20-14|=6 units.
|TQ|=|22-8|=14
Recall the distance formula;
We use the distance to find the non parallel sides.
units.
and
units.
The perimeter of the tra-pezoid is
=14+10+6+8.25=38.25
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal. So dividing by 2/5 will give you the same answer as multiplying by 5/2.
Answer:
y = - 5x + 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
Here m = - 5 and b = 7, thus
y = - 5x + 7 ← equation of line
