Answer:

the computer will cost 864.5

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 950 is 142.5.

950-142.5=807.5

6% of 950 is 57

Answer:

$855.95

Step-by-step explanation:

So We can first multiply the original price by 0.85 becuase its 15 percent off and we’re paying 85 percent of the original price basically.

You’ll get 807.50.

Now to find the sales tax we multiply that by 1.06 becuase the 100 percent is the price now and we’re just adding 6 percent so 1.06, and you’ll get 855.95

So no adding and subtracting and that takes off 2 steps and its way quicker

So the final answer is $855.95

The endpoints of CD are C(–8, 4) and D(6, –6). What are the coordinates of point P on CD such that P is the length of the line s

GalinKa [24]

If you graph the end points C and D then graph the 4 points at the end it is difficult to tell which points are on CD without a line.
Using the endpoints find the slope (change in y/ change in x) then substitute a point in to find the intercept.
Slope = (-6-4)/(6- -8) = -5/7
Intercept equation (-6) = -5/7 (6) + b
b = -1.71428571429
Graphing the line shows only 2 points on the line (–2.75, 0.25) and (0.75, –2.25)
I am confused by the part, "P is the length of the line segment from D". Were you given a length P to help you determine which point. Using the distance formula to find the length from each point to D doesn't help determine which one is best with the information you have given. The image shows the distances I calculated and the graphed points.
I hope this helps!

Answer:

12 shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 6 times 2 is 12 and 4 times 3 is 12. And that is the lowest common number that they share.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-11, -2) and a directrix of x= -3

fgiga [73]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like that.

now, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, so that puts it where you see it in the picture, and the horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, meaning that the distance "P" is negative.

$\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\begin{cases} h=-7\\ k=-2\\ p=-4 \end{cases}\implies 4(-4)[x-(-7)]~~ = ~~[y-(-2)]^2 \\\\\\ -16(x+7)=(y+2)^2\implies x+7=-\cfrac{(y+2)^2}{16}\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{16}(y+2)^2-7$

What’s the equation for a line passing through points (-1, 4.5) and (6, 8)?

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Given points ( -1 , 4.5 ) and ( 6 , 8 )

Step-by-step explanation:

first we should calculate slope 

Slope ( m) 

= ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1) 

= ( 8 - 4.5 ) / ( 6 + 1 )

= 3.5/7

= 0.5

Now the equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1 )

y - 4.5 = 0.5 ( x + 1 )

( y - 4.5 ) = 0.5 ( x + 1)

y - 4.5 = 0.5x + 0.5

y = 0.5x + 0.5 + 4.5

y = 0.5x + 5
