You increase the size of a page by 30%. Then you decrease it by 30%. What is the size of the page now?

kotegsom [21]

Lets use 1 to solve this problem because it is easiest to show.

Multiply 1 by 1.3 for a 30% increase (1*1.3=1.3).

Then multiply 1.3 by .7 for a 30% decrease. (1.3*.7=.91)

Therefore the page had a 9% reduction from its original size or is 91% of its original size.

amid [387]

parallel means "same slope (m)"

m = $\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$ = $\frac{0 - 5}{-3 - (-6)} = \frac{-5}{-3 + 6} = \frac{-5}{3}$
