For this case we will first look for the total cost of the purse.
 We then have the following rule of three:
 14.95 $ -----> 100%
 x -------------> 105%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (105/100) * (14.95)
 x = 15.6975 $
 The amount needed to buy the purse is:
 15.6975 - 10 = 5.6975 $
 Answer:
 
holley needs 5.6975 $ to buy the purse

What is the slope of y =2x-1​
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

<h2>The slope m = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<em>y = mx + b</em>

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

<em />

We have the equation:

<em>y = 2x - 1 → m = 2, b = -1</em>

3/4 + -2/3 in simplest term
balandron [24]
1/12 because first u find a common denominator of 12 then you get 9/12 + (-8/12) and then since one is negative and one is positive you have to subtract and you get positive 1/12

Vertex form is f(x)=a(x-p)^2 +q. How do i determine a?
slamgirl [31]
Y1 is the simplest parabola.  Its vertex is at (0,0) and it passes thru (2,4).  This is enough info to conclude that y1 = x^2.

y4, the lower red graph, is a bit more of a challenge.  We can easily identify its vertex, which is (-4,0), and several points on the grah, such as (2,-3).

Let's try this:  assume that the general equation for a parabola is 
y-k = a(x-h)^2, where (h,k) is the vertex.  Subst. the known values,

-3-(-4) = a(2-0)^2.  Then 1 = a(2)^2, or 1 = 4a, or a = 1/4.

The equation of parabola y4 is   y+4 = (1/4)x^2

Or you could elim. the fraction and write the eqn as 4y+16=x^2, or

4y = x^2-16, or    y = (1/4)x - 4.  Take your pick!  Hope this helps you find "a" for the other parabolas.

A certain positive number is multiplied by 4, and then the result is subtracted from the original number. The result is 21 less
stira [4]

Answer:

The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

certain positive number: x

x is multipled by 4:

4x

result of this is subtracted from the original number:

so original number minus 4x,

x - 4x

the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21

x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21

do algebra:

-3x = -21

multiply both sides by -1

3x = 21

divide both sides by 3

x=7

(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7
