Answer:
9 and also -4
Step-by-step explanation:
You start by finding the slope : y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
2 - 8 / 4 - (-16)
- 6 / 20
m = - 3 / 10
Point slope form : y - y1 = m( x- x1 )
You can pick either of the coordinates and substitute them in
POINT SLOPE FORM EQUATION : y - 8 = -3/10 ( x + 16 )
Create and solve an appropriate equation: Maria's earnings = Liam's earnings
0.20x = $625+0.10x.
Find x.
0.10x = $625; thus, x = $6250. At this level of food sales, these two people earn the same amount.
