4) You know slope-intercept form is y=mx+b. So using these two given points, you can find the slope!
(-8,5) (-3,10) [Use the y1-y2 over x1-x2 formula to solve for slope]
10 - 5 5
--------- = ----- = 1
-3-(-8) 5
Hurray! You got a slope of one. Now substitute this back into your original equation:
y=mx+b --> y=1x+b
Next, we find what our "b" is, or what our y-intercept is:
Using one of the previous points given, substitute them into the new equation:
[I used the point (-3, 10) ]
y=1x+b
10=1(-3)+b SUBSTITUTE
10=-3+b MULTIPLY
10=-3+b
+3 +3 ADD
----------
13=b SIMPLIFY
So, now we have our y-intercept. Use this and plug it into the equation:
y=1x+b --> y=1x+13
y=1x+13 is our final answer.
5) So for perpendicular lines, your slope will be the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. (Ex: Slope is 2, but perpendicular slope is -1/2)
We have the equation y= 3x-1, so find the reciprocal slope!
--> y=-1/3x-1
Good! Now we take our given point, (9, -4) and plug it into the new equation:
y=-1/3x-1
-4=-1/3(9)+b SUBSTITUTE and revert "-1" to "b", for we are trying to find the y- -4=-3+b intercept of our perpendicular equation.
+3 +3 ADD
--------
-1=b SIMPLIFY
So, our final answer is y=-1/3x+(-1)
6) I don't know, sorry! :(
The easiest way to calculate this, since you don't need to know what the discount is, if the decrease is 4% you still have 96%.
Multiply 29,000 x .96= $27,840.
If you do it the other way, .04 x 29000= 1160. Then subtract 29000-1160=27850.

Answer:
<em>The fraction of the beads that are red is</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>
A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:
r:y = 2:3
y:b = 5:4
We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or
s = r + y + b
Thus, we need to calculate:
![\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b} \qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Br%2By%2Bb%7D%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%20%20%20%5B1%5D)
Knowing that:
![\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3} \qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7By%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20%20%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%20%20%20%5B2%5D)
Multiplying the equations above:
Simplifying:
![\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6} \qquad\qquad [3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdisplaystyle%20%5Cfrac%7Br%7D%7Bb%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%20%20%20%5B3%5D)
Dividing [1] by r:
Substituting from [2] and [3]:
Operating:
The fraction of the beads that are red is 
When you subtract them you get the answer 57.99
