To find the slope, you can either use the slope equation:
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
{I would recommend you remember this because you'll need to know this in the future}
or,
Just count. A slope is rise over run, so you see how far up the slope goes from one point to the other, (1), and then you see how far sideways the slope goes (2).
Going right, the slope is naturally declining downwards, so it's a negative.
The answer is B. -1/2.
The equation is 4(x-3) -(5x+1) = 3
The next step is solving the equation is to apply the distributive property and the equation becomes 4x - 12 - 5x - 5 = 3.
So the correct answer is the third option.
Answer:
1) 20 stars; 30 points.
2) 28 stars, 42 points.
3) 38 stars, 57 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
The missing table is attached.</h3>
Let be "x" the numbers of stars Roberto collects and "y" his total points.
The proportional relationship has this form:
Where "k" is the constant of proportionality.
We can choose the point 
) from the table, where:
Substituting these values into and solving for "k", we get:
Knowing the value of "k", we determine that the following Numbers of stars and the Total points could be used as the missing values in the table:
1) For 
:
2) For 
:
3) For 
:
In order to figure out what number 1500 is 5% of, take 1500 and divide it by 5% (0.05). The answer is the salesman would have to sell $30,000 to make $1500 in commission.
