For the first part you need to find 85% of 16,000. its 13,600. you get this by multiplying .85 by 16,000.

for part two, i don't know how to show the work, but 816 is 96% of 850.

sorry about that, but i hope it helps

What is the slope of the line that contains the point (-1,8) and (5,-4) answer.com?

pshichka [43]

THE SLOPE IS -2

if we have the coordinates of two points on a line, we can find the slope with this formula:
$s = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 -x1} = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2}$
so the slope is
$\frac{8 - ( - 4)}{ - 1 - 5} = \frac{12}{ - 6} = - 2$
the answer is -2

good luck
