This should be anegative decrease
Answer:
$1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. we know that its $240 per 160 hot dogs
2. make that a ratio - 240:160
3. simplify the ratio so that the amount of hot dogs is at one (so divide both sides by 160)
4. so 240/160 = 1.5 . 160/160 = 1
5. 1.5:1
6. so for every one hotdog, you pay $1.50
Answer:
The coefficient of variation after the tax is imposed is 0.033
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- mean
--- variance
Required
The coefficient of variation
The coefficient of variation is calculated using:
After the tax, the new mean is:
And the new variance is:
So, we have:
For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:
m1*m2=-1
So we first need to find the slope of the reference line.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(7-2)/(-1--5)=5/4
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of:
5m/4=-1
m=-4/5
So our perpendicular line so far is:
y=-4x/5+b, now we can use point (3,-1) to solve for the y-intercept, "b"
-1=-4(3)/5+b
-1=-12/5+b
-5/5+12/5=b
7/5=b
So the line is:
y=-4x/5+7/5 or more neatly
y=(-4x+7)/5
y=-0.8x+1.4
