How to calculate percentage of a number. Use the percentage formula: P% * X = Y

Convert the problem to an equation using the percentage formula: P% * X = Y.
P is 10%, X is 150, so the equation is 10% * 150 = Y.
Convert 10% to a decimal by removing the percent sign and dividing by 100: 10/100 = 0.10.

Multiply by 100 and add a percentage sign
0.876 = 0.876 * 100 = 87.6%

Write an equation of the line that passes through (2, -3) and is perpendicular to the line y=-2x-3

Natalija [7]

Answer:

$y=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)-3$ or $y=\frac{1}{2} x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perpendicular slope is the opposite-reciprocal of the original slope:

Perpendicular slope of -2 is $\frac{1}{2}$

Write the equation in point-slope form ( $y=a(x-h)+k$ ):

$y=\frac{1}{2} (x-2)-3$

Convert to slope-intercept form if needed:

$y=\frac{1}{2} x-1-3$

$y=\frac{1}{2} x-4$

What are the next three terms of the geometric sequence 32, -16, 8, …?

MrRa [10]

Answer:

-4, 2, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

everything is being multiplied by -1/2

32 × -1/2 = -16

-16 × -1/2 = 8

So 8 × -1/2 = -4

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)

IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$
