Answer:

33% discount

Step-by-step explanation:

15$ is the amount that was taken off so now we just need to convert it to a % of 45

45/100 = 30/?

if you do cross multiplication and multiply 30 * 100 then divide the result (3000) by 45 you get 66

This means that 30$ is 66% of 45. To find the discount you just subtract 66% (this represents your 30$ new price) from 100% (this represents the 45% original price) and you get 33%.

Use complete sentences to describe how measurements of position in two directions (vertical and horizontal) are sufficient enoug

4vir4ik [10]

Essentially, you can always tell a thing's position by 3 coordinates. We also say that our world is three-dimentional: it has three dimensions -that's why three coordinates are needed. If something is on a flat surface, you know its one coordinate (all points on the same surface have the same coordinate) so you only need two more (you can call them vertical and horizontal)

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 4)(4,4) and (10, 7) ?(10,7)? Write your answer in simplest form

Mashutka [201]

The slope of line passing through the points (4, 4) and (10, 7) is $\frac{1}{2}$

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, we have to find the slope of line that passes through the points (4, 4) and (10, 7)

The slope of line passing through $(x_1 , y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given as:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Given two points are (4, 4) and (10, 7)

$\text{ Here } x_1 = 4 ; y_1 = 4; x_2 = 10; y_2 = 7$

Substituting the values in formula, we get

$\begin{aligned}&m=\frac{7-4}{10-4}\\\\&m=\frac{3}{6}\end{aligned}$

Reducing to lowest terms, we get

$m=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus slope of line passing through given points is $\frac{1}{2}$

How is the graph of y = 8x2 − 1 different from the graph of y = 8x2?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

since it's the lhs we are concerned about, i. e., Y axis, so it must be either up or down. now look at the question, it says 8x2 - (1), it means one lower value of y i. e., 1 unit down
