I think the answer is y=-2 because on the y-axis at -2, the line almost gets to that point but doesn't ever get to it
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively. Form the ratio 7/12. The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively. Form the ratio x/5. Now equate these two ratios:
7 x
--- = ---
12 5
Solve this for x. One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x. x will be a fraction. Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
That is 8.51 which means it is over 4 dollars above the standard pay. All you have to do is mainly make the 15% into a decimal (which means to move the decimal places twice to the right so it is .15) and then multiplying it by 56.75. There it would show you how much it is for the supposed to be 15% tax which is 8.51. Since they gave her 12.45, then yes they gave her more than expected.
.2 is 1 over 5 in simplest form...<u>1</u>
