You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes. So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line: if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then
y-b=m(x-a). You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.
On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster: y=mx+b.
Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5). Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).
Then write the finished equation: y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.
'<em>Option B' </em><em>is the correct answer....</em>
That is false because you have to subtract the exponents not divide
Answer:
50 %
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached,
Percentage of total students that like watching television = [(WnR)/μ]×100......... Equation 1
The number of students that like watching television and reading (WnR) = 70
The total number of students (μ) = 40+20+70+10
The total number of students (μ) = 140
Substitute these values into equation 1
Percentage of total students that like watching television = (70/140)×100
Percentage of total students that like watching television = 1/2(100)
Percentage of total students that like watching television = 50 %
