Answer:
The slope of the line would be -3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's get this equation into the proper slope form:
2x - 3y - 5 = 0
2x - 3y + 3y - 5 = 0 + 3y
2x - 5 = 3y
(1/3)(2x - 5) = 3y * 1/3
2/3x - 5/3 = y
Since the slope is 2/3, we need to find the negative reciprocal of that number, which is -3/2.
M is a midpoint of BC so:

Answer:
79.95
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to rewrite the percentages into decimals so they can be added or subtracted easier. To turn a percentage into a decimal, remove the percent sign and move the decimal two spaces to the left (in other words, divide the number by 100).
12% becomes -0.12
8% becomes 0.08
Now, let's solve.
79.99 - 0.12 + 0.08
Evaluating 79.99 - 0.12, the equation becomes 79.87 + 0.08.
Evaluating 79.87 + 0.08, we get the final answer, 79.95.

Answer:
3. $6000 at 8%; $5000 at 5%
4. 66 2/3 gallons of 9%; 133 1/3 gallons of 6%
Step-by-step explanation:
For many mixture problems, it works well to let a variable represent the amount of the largest contributor used in the mix.
3. Let x represent the amount invested at 8%. Then the total interest is ...
8%x +5%(11000-x) = 730
3%x = 730 -550
x = 180/0.03 = 6000
$6000 was invested at 8%; $5000 was invested at 5%.

4. Let x represent the number of gallons of 9% content. Then the alcohol content of the mix is ...
9%x +6%(200 -x) = 7%(200)
3%x = 1%(200) . . . . . subtract 6%(200)
x = 200/3 = 66 2/3 . . . . . divide by 3%
200 -x = 133 1/3
66 2/3 gallons of 9% wine and 133 1/3 gallons of 6% wine should be used.
