Answer:

29%

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{145}{500} = \frac{x}{100} \\\\$

500/5 = 100

145/5 = <u>29</u>

ROUND 90998.0014483 TO THE NEAREST TEN. HELP!

djverab [1.8K]

91000
when it says nearest ten you ignore the decimals and look at 90998 the nearest ten of 998 is 1000 so keep the nine at the beginning and you have 91000

Find the equation of the line through (-9,6) that is perpendicular to the line through (7,8),

Setler [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume as "equation" we mean the slope-intercept form :

y = ax + b

"a" is the slope of the line (y coordinate change / x coordinate change when going from one point to another on the line). b is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0).

we get the slope by finding the perpendicular slope of the first line.

the slope of the first line when going from (-3, -9) to (7, 8) :

x changes by + 10 (from -3 to +7).

y changes by + 17 (from -9 to +8).

so, that slope is 17/10.

the perpendicular slope is turning the original slope upside-down and flips the sign :

-10/17

so, a = -10/17

now, as we have only the slope and a point of the new line, we can use the point-slope form to stay and then transfer into the slope-intercept form.

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is again the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line

y - -6 = -10/17 × (x - -9)

y + 6 = -10/17 × (x + 9) = -10/17 × x - 90/17

y = -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 6 =

= -10/17 × x - 90/17 - 102/17 =

= -10/17 × x - 192/17

so, the equation is (in a maybe nicer way)

y = -1/17 × (10x + 192)

Jake and Hannah wash windows Jake charges $50 plus $2 per window hannah charges $20 plus $5 per window for how many windows wash

AnnZ [28]

10.
50+(2x)=20+(5x)
-20 -20
-2x -2x
30=3x
divide both sides by 3
10=x

Part 1

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

a) A n (B' n C') = {3, 9}.

b) (AUB) n (BUC) = {2,4,5,6,7,8}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Rewriting C ; C = {4,5,6,7,8}

B' = {3,5,7,9} and C' = {2, 3, 9}

so (B' n C') = {3, 9}

and A n (B' n C') = {3, 9}.

b) {A U B} = { 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and {B U C} = {2,4,5,6,7,8}

so (AUB) n (BUC) = {2,4,5,6,7,8}

Write an equation of the line that passes through the pair of points. (−4, −2), (4, 0)

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

y = 1/4x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok first, you need to find the slope:

0+2 = 2=1

4+4 = 8=4

Slope: 1/4

y=1/4x+b

Now you need to find the y intercept which is b. For that you can take a coordinate pair and substitute it in the equation to find b.

I will use (4,0)

0=1/4 X 4 + b

0=x+b

minus x on both sides. x=1

-1=b
