Set up a system of equations
Let x=first salesperson's paycheck
y=second salesperson's paycheck
x= y-.15y
x+y= 1425

Solve by substituting x
(y-.15y)+y= 1425
1.85y= 1425
y= 770.27

Substitute 770.27 for y in order to solve for x
x= (770.27)-.15(770.27)
x= 770.27-115.54
x=654.73

So the first salesperson(x) has a paycheck of $654.73 and the second salesperson(y) has a paycheck of $770.27.

Hope this helps!

Write the function in vertex form. y=-x^2-8x-9
xeze [42]

Answer:

y = -(x+4)² +7

Step-by-step explanation:

I find it convenient to factor the leading minus sign from the first two terms, then work with what's left.

... y = -(x² +8x) -9

Now, add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses. Add the opposite of that amount outside parentheses.

... y = -(x² +8x +4²) -9 +4²

... y = -(x +4)² +7 . . . . . . . . . rewrite parentheses as a square; collect terms

Answer:

(2,4) is a solution to this system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

y=2x \hfill (1)

y=\frac{-1}{2}x+5\hfill (2)

To find the solution of the given system of equations

To Check that (2,4) is a solution to this system or not

Solving equations (1) and (2)

From equation (1) and y=2x

Now substitute y=2x is equation (2)

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

\frac{-1}{5}x+5-2x=0

5-\frac{x}{2}-2x=0

5-\frac{x+4x}{2}=0

5-\frac{5x}{2}=0

\frac{10-5x}{2}=0

10-5x=0

-5x=-10

x=\frac{10}{5}

Substitute x=2 in equation (1)

y=2x

y=2(2)

Therefore y=4

Therefore the solution is (2,4)

Therefore (2,4) is a solution to the system of equations.

A line has a slope of 2. Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that is perpendicular to this line.
notsponge [240]

Hey there!

A perpendicular line's slope to another line is always the negative reciprocal of slope.

If our line has a slope of two, we first must find the reciprocal, which is 1/2. Then, we put a negative on it.

Therefore, our equation is y=-1/2x+b.

I hope that this helps! Have a great day!
