Deffense [45]2 years ago

Answer:

  • Slope: \frac{10.000}{2.000} = -5.000
  • x - intercept: \frac{10}{5} = 2.
  • y intercept: \frac{10}{1} = 10.00000.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simplify:</u>

  • Simplify the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation:
  • 10*x+2*y-(20)=0.

<u>Step 1:</u>

  • Pull out like factors:
  • 10x + 2y - 20 = 2 * (5x + y - 10)

<u>Step 2:</u>

  • Equations which are never true:
  • Solve:
  • 2 = 0
  • This can't be solved.
  • A non-zero constant never equals 0.
  • Equation of a straight line:
  • Solve:  5x+y-10 = 0
  • "y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.
  • In this formula:
  • y tells us how far up the line goes
  • x tells us how far along
  • m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
  • b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis
  • The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line  5x+y-10  = 0 and calculate its properties
  • Calculate the y-intercept:
  • Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 10/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=10.00000
  •  y-intercept = 10/1  = 10.00000
  • Calculate the x-intercept:
  • Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 10.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is -0.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of -0.000 - 10.000 = -10.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)
  •    Slope     = -10.000/2.000 = -5.000

<u>Answers:</u>

  •  Slope = -10.000/2.000 = -5.000
  •  x-intercept = 10/5 = 2
  •  y-intercept = 10/1 = 10.00000

A shoe dealer purchased net Birr 8,000 worth of shoes from a shoe company.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The dealer bought Birr 8000 at 7% tax.

Total amount to be paid = cost price (1 + r%)

r = 7% = 0.07

Total amount to be paid = 8000 \times 1.07 =\texttt {Birr}  \ \  {8,560}

B) To find the VAT, it is the difference between the tax paid when the good was bought and the tax put on it after it was sold.

Tax paid when the shoes were bought = 7% of cost price

= 7 \%  \times  8,000 = \texttt {Birr} \ 560

Tax paid when the shoes were sold = 9% of selling price

= 9 \% \times 12,000 = \texttt {Birr} \ 1,080

VAT = tax recovered on sale - Tax paid on purchase

\texttt {VAT} = 1080 - 560 = \texttt {Birr}\ 520

The following gambling game has been proposed, which a player must pay to play. First, a value U is chosen uniformly from the se
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The player should be required to pay $5 to make this a fair game.

Step-by-step explanation:

U ~ Uniform(0, 10)

E[U] = (0 + 10)/2

         = 5

X | U ~ Poisson(U)

E[X | U] = U

By law of total probability for expectations,

E[X] = E[E[X|U]] = E[U] = $5

Therefore the player should be required to pay $5 to make this a fair game.

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$1125

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $15,000 is over $5000 the commission is 7.5%

Next you turn the percent into a decimal:

0.075

Now multiply $15,000 by 0.075

Answer = $1125
