Answer:

let the number be y

10% of y = 140

(10/100) of y = 140

10y/100 = 140/1

when you cross multiply you get this;

10y×1 = 140×100

10y = 14000

divide both sides by ten

y = 1400

The number is 1400.

Thank you.

Answer:

1,400

you would add another 0 to it since it is %10

Answer:

Question 4: $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5: $y=-5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Question 4

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where two points that pass through the line are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

In the graph, two easy-to-identify points on the line are (-5,4) and (5,-4). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5-(-5)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-4-4}{5+5}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-8}{10}\\\\\displaystyle m=-\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ as the slope (m):

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis when y is 0. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is 0. Plug this into $y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+b$ :

$y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x+0\\\\y=\displaystyle -\frac{4}{5}x$

Question 5

1) Determine the slope (m)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Two easy-to-identify points are (-1,2) and (0,-3). Plug these into the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0-(-1)}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-3-2}{0+1}\\\\\displaystyle m=\frac{-5}{1}\\\\m=-5$

Therefore, the slope is -5. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=-5x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

On the graph, we can see that the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-3). The y-coordinate of this point is -3. Therefore, the y-intercept (b) is -3. Plug this into $y=-5x+b$ :

$y=-5x+(-3)\\y=-5x-3$

I hope this helps!

Pleeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeee heeeeeellllllpppppp

loris [4]

I got (-6.28, -0.76).

Step 1.) Write out the problems
-2x=8-6y
-15x=21-6y

Step 2.) Pick a problem and solve for X
-2x=8-6y = x=-4-3y

Step 3.) Plug in the x
(-15)(-4-3y)= 21-6y
60 + 45y= 21-6y

Step 4.) Solve for y
y=-0.76

Step 5.) Plug in the y value into one of the equations
-2x= 8- 6(-0.76)
-2x= 8 + 4.56
x= -6.28

Step 6.) Check your answers
-2(-6.28)=8-6(-0.76)
12.56=12.56

Step 7.) Write it out
(-6.28,-0.76)

Is Y=9/3x+2 proportional or no nonprotional

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Non proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx = proportional

y = mx + b = non proportional

y = mx + b

y = 9/3x + b = non proportional

Hope that helps!

Pls answer “b” correctly and I will mark it has brainlist

Phoenix [80]

Since it is a slope, the equation of a slope is y=Mx+b. So you want to get b to that format. To do this, you need to isolate the y on the left. To do this, you simply add 2x to both sides. Your final answer will be y=2x+7. Hope this helps!
