Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answer:

y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Pick two points on the line and substitute their x and y values into the formula, then solve. I used the points (-5,-4) and (0,-6):

m = \frac{(-6)-(-4)}{(0)-(-5)} \\m = \frac{-6+4}{0+5} \\m = \frac{-2}{5} \\  

So, the slope of the line is -\frac{2}{5}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute values for the m, x_1 and y_1 into the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{2}{5}  in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point on the line, pick any point on the line (any one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values in those places. (I chose (0,-6), as seen below.) Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

y-(-6) = -\frac{2}{5} (x-(0))\\y + 6 = -\frac{2}{5} x\\y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6

There are 20,000 members of a zoo. The percent of
schepotkina [342]

1500 members have a contributor  membership.

64.8% of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are 20,000 members of a zoo.

⇒ Total members = 20,000

From the graph shown,

7.5% of the members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the number of members who have contributor  membership :</u>

⇒ 7.5% of 20,000

⇒ (7.5/100) × 20,000

⇒ 7.5 × 200

⇒ 1500 members.

Therefore, 1500 members have a contributor  membership.

<u>To find the percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships :</u>

The percentage of noncontributory  memberships = 100% - 7.5% ⇒ 92.5%

The percentage of individual memberships = 60%

∴ What percentage of the noncontributory  memberships are individual memberships ⇒ (60 / 92.5) × 100 = 64.8%
