Answer: Their total budget last year was $40,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The Smiths spend 6% of their budget on entertainment.
i.e. , The money they spend on entertainment = 0.06 x ( Total budget)
{ 6% is converted to 0.06 , when we divide it by 100 to remove percentage)
Since , this year they plan to spend $2,580 on entertainment.
i.e. 0.06 x ( Total budget ) = $2,580
On dividing both sides by 0.06 , we get
( Total budget ) = $2,580 ÷ 0.06
= $43,000
Thus , their total budget for this year = $43,000
Also, Their total budget this year is $3,000 more than last year.
Therefore , their last year total budget = ( Total budget this year ) - $3000
= $43,000 - $3000
= $40,000
Hence, their total budget last year was $40,000.

The value of m is 2450

<h3>What is Equation?</h3>

Two or more expressions with an Equal sign is called as Equation.

The given equation is

2(14m/400)=171.5

Distribute 2 with numerator on LHS

28m/400=171.5

14m/200=171.5

7m/100=171.5

Multiply 100 on both sides

7m=17150

m=2450

Hence, the value of m is 2450

Find the slope of the line graphed in the diagram and choose the correct answer from the choices below. The two intercepts are (
kvasek [131]
The correct slope is -5/2.

The formula for slope is

m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The y-coordinate of the second point is 0, and the y-coordinate of the first point is 2.  The x-coordinate of the second point is 0.8 and the x-coordinate of the first point is 0:

m = (0-2)/(0.8-0) = -2/0.8 = -2 ÷ 8/10 = -2 × 10/8 = -2/1 × 10/8 = -20/8 = -5/2

Help please! I need answers quickly :((
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{0-2}{4-0} = \frac{-2}{4} = - \frac{1}{2}

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 2) ⇒ c = 2

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 2 ← equation of line
