Adding mixed numbers

Adding whole numbers first.

Adding fractions by taking LCD.

<span>x-intercept is when y = 0
0 = -1/2x - 2
1/2x = -2
x = -4
x-intercept = (-4,0)
y-intercept is when x = 0
y = -1/2(0) - 2
y = -2
y-intercept = (0, -2)
(note that in the form y = mx+b, b is the y-intercept, so in y = -1/2x - 2, -2 is the y-intercept)
Now to graph, simply plot these two points (-4, 0) and (0, -2) and draw a line between them.

Given conditions are :
In 1980's, a typical middle-income household earned= $34,757
In 2009, a similar middle-income household earned= $38,550
And we have to find relative increase in income for these households from 1980 to 2009.
So first we will find the total increase in amounts.

Relative increase = 
= 10.91% or rounding it off we get approx 11%.
Hence, the answer is 11%.
