Answer:
There are multiple ways to do so:
You can divide the number by 100 to convert it to a decimal
You could take your percentage and add a decimal two places to the left.
Examples of both:
For division its as simple as 75 divided by 100 = 0.75
If we are going to use the decimal method, lets say we have 45%, so we can do this:
45% =45.00
Move the decimal two places to the left.
0.45
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.</u>
<u>The slope is:</u>
- m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5
<u>To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):</u>
- 2 = 5(1) + b
- b = 2 - 5
- b = -3
<u>The line is:</u>
<u>Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x</u>
- 17 = 5x - 3
- 5x = 17 + 3
- 5x = 20
- x = 20/5
- x = 4
