Answer:

x = 3 and y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent. Hence,

1) 7y + 2 = 6y + 16

I. e. 7y - 6y = 16 - 2

I. e. y = 14

2) 8x + 8 = 6x + 14

I. e. 8x - 6x = 14 - 8

I. e. 2x = 6

I. e. x = 6/2

I. e. x = 3

What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (1/3, -1) and ( -2, 9/2)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

$\boxed{m = - \frac{33}{14} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the form below

$\boxed{\boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }}$

Where

$m$ is a slope
$(x_1,~y_1)$ and $(x_2,~y_2)$ are the point of the line

So, the slope is

$(\frac{1}{3} ,~ -1) \to x_1 = \frac{1}{3} ~and~y_1 = -1$

$(-2,~ \frac{9}{2} ) \to x_2 = -2~and~y_2 = \frac{9}{2}$

$m = \frac{\frac{9}{2} -(-1)}{-2-\frac{1}{3} }$

$m = \frac{\frac{11}{2} }{\frac{-7}{3} }$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \div (-\frac{7}{3} )$

$m = \frac{11}{2} \times (-\frac{3}{7} )$

$m = - \frac{33}{14}$

Happy to help:)

A commercial property purchased for 1.2 million is revalued at 995,000. Calculate the percentage decrease in the property’s valu

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

First:

1,200,000 - 995,000 = 205,000

Then:

205,000 / 1,200,000 = 0.17

0.17 × 100% = 17%
