Which graph represents a line with a slope of and a y-intercept equal to that of the line y = x – 2?
Rudiy27

Answer:

The last graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we look for is the y-intercept at -2.  The only graphs where the line passes through the y-intercept at this point are the first and the last.

The slope of the line we want is -2/3.  This means the line decreases; the first graph increases, not decreases, so it must be the fourth one..

Checking the fourth graph, from the y-intercept, we go down 2 and over 3 to find the next point; this means the slope is -2/3 and this is the correct line.

Scott has $82.50 in his checking account after he wrote checks to pay bills for $37.96, $52.00, $12.26, and $96.36. How much was
Talja [164]

Answer:

If im correct its $281.08

Step-by-step explanation:

So i added all the numbers

$37.95+$52.00 (etc.)

Then i added the first number to the total

$82.50+$198.58 ( those are all the numbers i added at the beginning.)

Then it should equal $281.08

He had $281.08 before he paid his bills.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 5x 2y = 12 and passes through the point (−2, 4)? y = – five-halves
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The answer is

y =  -  \frac{5}{2} x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are parallel it means that both their gradients are equal. We were given the equation:

5x +  2y = 12

in order to find the gradient of this equation that we are given we have to ensure that it is in its simplest form:

5x + 2y = 12 \\ 2y = 12 - 5x \\  \frac{2y}{2}  =  \frac{12}{2}  -  \frac{5}{2} x \\ y = 6  -  \frac{5}{2} x \: \\ or \: \\ y =   - \frac{5}{2} x + 6

Therefore the gradient of the parallel line with points (-2, 4) is also -5/2

y = mx + c \\ 4 =  - \frac{ 5}{2} ( - 2) + c \\ 4 =  \frac{10}{2}   + c \\ 4 = 5 + c \\ 4 - 5 = c \\

c =  - 1 \\ hence \: the \: equation \: for \: the \: \\  parallel \: line \: is \\  \: y =  -  \frac{5}{2} x  - 1

What is the image of R for a dilation with center (0,0) and a scale factor of 1 1/2?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: The image is (6,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of R is  ( 4,-2)  and to find the image using the scale factor 1.5 you will multiply the x coordinates by 1.5 and the y coordinate also by 1.5 to have the new image of R.

4 * 1.5 = 6

-2 * 1.5 = -3

The new coordinates care (6, -3)

Change the mixed number to percentage<br><br> 7 7/8
ludmilkaskok [199]
Well, the idea being, that 1 is the 100% unit, so say 0.5 is 50% and so on.

so, let's convert 7 and 7/8 from mixed to improper first.

\bf 7\frac{7}{8}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 8+7}{8}\implies \cfrac{63}{8}\implies 7.875\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccll}&#10;amount&\%\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;1&100\\&#10;7.875&p&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{1}{7.875}=\cfrac{100}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{7.875\cdot 100}{1}
