Your problem is:
$35.00 is what percentage of $437.50?
If you are given a part and the whole, and you want to know what percent the part is of the whole, divide the part by the whole and multiply by 100.
In this case, the whole is $437.50.
The part is $35.00.
35/437.5 * 100 = 8%
Answer:
The equation is y = -5/6 x-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope intercept form is
y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y = -5/6 x+b
Substitute in the point
-9 = -5/6(6) +b
-9 = -5+b
Add 5 to each side
-4 = b
The equation is y = -5/6 x-4
So the equation has to pass through (6,-1) and be perpendicular to y = -2x + 8.
The slope is -2, and to get the slope of a line perpendicular to another line you have to find the negative reciprocal of that slope. That means -2 is equal to
-2/1, and if you flip those numbers and find the opposite of that number making it positive, the slope of a line perpendicular to it is 1/2.
But the line also has to pass through (6,-1), so we have to find the y-intercept of the new line.
To do that, you multiply 6(the x) by the 1/2(the slope) and get 3. Then you subtract 3(previous answer) from -1(the y) and get -4. That means the y-intercept is -4!
All that's left is to build the equation with this information. The equation is:
y = -4 + 1/2x
Hope this helps!
The solution to these linear equations is (4,-3)
So the x-value is 4
