Answer:

A linear relation can be written in the slope-intercept form as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

And if a line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Now let's look at our lines.

The left one passes through the points (0, -3) and (-2, 0)

Then the slope of this line is:

a = (0 - (-3))/(-2 - 0) = 3/-2 = -(3/2)

Then the line will be something like:

y = -(3/2)*x + b

Knowing that this line passes through the point (0, -3), we know that when x = 0, we must have y = -3

Then:

-3 = (-3/2)*0 + b

-3 = b

So the first linear equation is:

y = -(3/2)*x - 3

Now let's look at the second line, this one passes through the points (0, 2) and (1, 0)

Then the slope of this line is:

a = (0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2

And we can write the line as:

y = -2*x + b

Knowing that this line passes through the point (0, 2), we know that when x = 0 we must have y = 0, replacing that we get:

2 = -2*0 + b

2 = b

Then the equation of this line is:

y = -2*x + 2

Now that we know both equations we can write our system as:

y = (-3/2)*x - 3

y = -2*x + 2

To solve it, we need to remember that y = y

then:

(-3/2)*x - 3 = y = -2*x + 2

(-3/2)*x - 3  = -2*x + 2

We can solve this for x.

2*x - (3/2)*x = 2 + 3

(1/2)*x = 5

x = 5((1/2) = 5*2 = 10

And to find the y-value, we need to input this x-value in one of the equations:

y = -2*10 + 2 = -20 + 2 = -18

Then the solution of the system is the point (10, -18)

If 15% of an item is $18 what is the original price??
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

If you were trying to find 15% of 18, that would be multiplying a decimal, but, you need to mutliply a whole number. $120 should be your answer. People, correct me if I'm wrong (seriously though, not 100% sure if this is correct).

Step-by-step explanation:

18 = 15% x Y

18 = 15/100 x Y

Y = 18 × 100/15

Y = 18 × 100 ÷ 15

Y = 120
