What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?

m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

Write the equation g(x) in vertex form of a
DerKrebs [107]

The equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

Given a  quadratic function for the transformations given  the function f(x) = x²

If the function g(x) of the graph is translated 4 units to the left, the equation becomes (x-4)² (note that we subtracted 4 from the x value

  • Translating the graph 1 unit up will give the final function g(x) as (x-4)² + 1 (We added 1 since it is an upward translation.)

Hence the equation g(x) in vertex form of a  quadratic function for the transformations  whose graph is a  translation 4 units left and 1 unit up of the  graph of f(x) is (x-4)² + 1

How to find MP when discount percent and SP are given​
nadezda [96]

Given:

Consider the discount percent and SP are given​.

To find:

The MP.

Solution:

Let x% be the discount percent Then

SP=MP-x\%\text{ of }MP

SP=MP-\dfrac{x}{100}MP

SP=\left(1-\dfrac{x}{100}\right)MP

SP=\left(\dfrac{100-x}{100}\right)MP

Multiply both sides by 100.

100SP=(100-x)MP

Divide both sides by (100-x).

\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP=MP

Therefore, the formula for MP is MP=\dfrac{100}{100-x}SP, where x is the discount percentage.

This week laptops are 25 percent off if a laptop cost $340 what is it's sale price
Nata [24]
The sale price is 255 dollars.
To get the answer you find out that ten percent of 340 is 34 dollars. then you double the percentage which brings you to 68 dollars. but you still have 5 percent left over. Half of the ten percent is 17 dollars. finally you add 68 plus 17 which gives you 84 dollars. Lastly subtract 84 dollars from 340 which gives you 255

Hope this helps! :)
