Your formula for this is

and

. Get everything on one side of the equals sign, set it equal to 0 and factor. When you do this you get (x-3)(x+27). The Zero Product Property rule tells us that either x-3 = 0 or x+27 = 0 and that x = 3 and -27. The only thing in math that will NEVER be negative besides time is distance/length, therefore, x cannot be 27 and has to be 3.
Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.
Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8
Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)
You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.
x0 = 1
y0 = 10
Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)
The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.
y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8
Answer:
let x =the original price
then 116x/100=$39.32
116x=100×39.32
116x=3932
divide both sides by 116
116x/116=3932/116
x=33.89655
(2dp)
x=33.90
The reflection across y axis of (x,y) would be (-x,y)
thus the answer is b
