I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.
Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.
First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.
That means 45% as a decimal is .45.
Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.
60×.45=27.
That means 45% of 60 is 27.
To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.
Have a wonderful day! :)
Slope is already given in the question so we only need to solve for the y-intercept.
Slope intercept form: y = mx + b
m = slope
b = y-intercept
-3/5 = -0.6
1 = -0.6(1) + b
1 = -0.6 + b
1 + 0.6 = -0.6 + b + 0.6
1.6 = b
Now, write in slope-intercept form.
y = -3/5x - 1.6

Answer:y=-2x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
(1,-3) and a slope of -2
Use Formula
Y= mx +b to find b. By using the slope and point given .
M is slope
Y is -3
X Is 1
Y=mx+b
-3= -2(1)+b
-3= -2+b
-3+2=b
-1=b
Now create the equation by inputting the slope they gave you which is -2 and answer we solved for b which is -1 .
Y= -2x-1
Answer:
1 pear = $0.75; 1 orange = $0.65
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 3P + 4O = 4.85
(2) 3P + 10O = 8.75 Eqn (2) - Eqn (1)
3P + 10O – 3P – 4O = 8.75 – 4.85 Combine like terms
6O = 3.90 Divide each side by 6
O = $0.65 Substitute into Eqn (1)
3P + 4×0.65 = 4.85
3P + 2.60 = 4.85 Subtract 2.60 from each side
3P = 2.25 Divide each side by 3
P = $0.75
Oranges cost $0.65 each and pears are $0.75 each
