<h3>Answer: Choice B)  1/6 or 17%</h3>

Explanation:

Ignore the net earnings of $4000 as it's extra unneeded info. The same goes for the $1500 rent.

Shay has monthly expenses of $3000. If the roommate chips in $500, then Shay saves 500/3000 = 5/30 = 1/6 of her money toward expenses.

Using a calculator, 1/6 = 0.17 = 17% approximately

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (−3, −4) and is parallel to the line that passes through the points
Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope formula y - y_1 = m(x-x_1). Find m by using the slope formula with the points.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{1--3}{-5-7} =\frac{4}{-12} =-\frac{1}{3}

Since the line is parallel, it will have the same slope.

Substitute m = -1/3 and (-3,-4).

y --4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x --3)\\y + 4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x+3)\\y +4 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 1\\y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

Find the value of k by<br>quardractic equation two real and equal roots<br>5x - 2kx +20=0​
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

k = +10 or -10

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given in the question that the roots of the eqn. are real and equal. So , the discriminant of the eqn. should be equal to 0.

=  >  {b}^{2}  - 4ac = 0

=  >  {( - 2k)}^{2}  - 4 \times 5 \times 20 = 0

=  > 4 {k}^{2}  - 400 = 0

=  > 4( {k}^{2}  - 100) = 0

=  >  {k}^{2}  - 100 = 0

=  > k =  \sqrt{100}  =  + 10 \: or \:  - 10

the system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane y=-1/2x-1 and y=1/4x-4 enter the coordinates of the solution to the s
pochemuha

Answer:

The coordinates are ( 4, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the coordinates by solving the 2 equations

y =  1/4x-4

y = -1/2x-1

As both left sides of the equation are y we can say:

-1/2x-1 = 1/4x-4

-1/2x - 1/4x = -4 + 1

-3/4 x = -3

x = -3 * -4/3

x = 4.

- and y = 1/4(4) - 4 = -3.
