Answer:

  5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

  A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

  B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

  5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

  5x -y = -37

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

  \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.

We can re-group them to add more easily. 

300 + 400 = 700
42 + 16 = 58

700+58 = 758

Molly's favorite store is running a great deal. All products are marked down 20% from their original
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

  • D. 0.8p(1p-0.2p)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>If p is the original price, the markdown price is:</u>

  • p - 20% =
  • p - p(20/100) =
  • p - 0.2p =
  • 0.8p

<u>Now, another 20% off:</u>

  • 0.8p - 20% =
  • 0.8p - 0.8p(20/100) =
  • 0.8(p - 0.2p) =
  • 0.64p

<u>Answer choices:</u>

  • A. 0.2(1p-0.2p)
  • B. 0.6p
  • C. (1p-0.2p)-0.2p
  • D. 0.8p(1p-0.2p)

Correct one is D
