Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A.  40.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The selling price for a $5 profit will be ...

  $12.75 +5.00 = $17.75

From $29.95, this represents a change of ...

  (17.75 -29.95)/29.95 × 100%

  = -12.20/29.95 × 100% ≈ -40.7346%

The bookstore can offer a maximum discount of about 40.7%.

PLEASE HELP A hot tub filled with 440 gallons of water is being

drained. After 1.5 hours, the amount of water had

decreased to 320 gallons.

The initial amount of water in the hot tub was

440 gallons, so (0, 440) is on the line.

After 1.5 hours, the amount of water had decreased

to 320 gallons, so (1.5, 320) is on the line.

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line, m=-80 and

The equation of the line is, [tex]y=-80+440[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that initially the hot tub is filled with 440 gallons of water.

So, at time t=0, the amount of water = 440 gallons.

Further, after 1.5 hours, the amount of water had  decreased to 320 gallons.

So, at time t=1.5 hours, the amount of water = 320 gallons.

The point (0,440) and (1.5, 320) are on the line.

So, the slope, m, of the line is

[tex]m=\frac{440-320}{0-1.5}=-\frac{120}{1.5}=-80[/tex]

The equation of the line is

[tex]y-440=-80(x-0) \\\\\Rightarrow y-440=-80x \\\\\Rightarrow y=-80x+440[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line, m=-80 and the equation of the line is, [tex]y=-80+440[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Y intercept is 500 because she is starting off with $500 each month

slope is 75 because she gets $75 more every time she sells one

start at (0,500) then plot a point at (1,575) then (2,650) increasing by 75 every time x increases by 1

If you start at (0,500) you can move backwards going to (-1,425) to (-2,350) decreasing by 75 as you move backwards

the equation is y=75x+500

After 10 months, he used 1 over 2 of the total money left in his account to go to a summer camp for artists. What is the total amount of money Benny spent to go to the summer camp?

A. $140.00
B. $280.00
C. $420.00
D. $440.00

Answers

Answer: B

If Benny deposits $92.50 every month and withdraws $36.50 every month, his net deposit each month is:

92.50 - 36.50 = 56

Benny does this for 10 months, so his balance after 10 months is:

56 * 10 = 560

Answers

The equation of the line l that passes through the points (0, -4) and (2, 0) is y = 2x - 4.

The correct option is B.

As per the diagram, the equation of the line l passes through two points (0, -4) and (2, 0).

To find the equation of the line l that passes through the points (0, -4) and (2, 0), we need to first find the slope of the line.

The slope of the line is given by:

m =  (y₂- y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

where (x1, y1) = (0, -4) and (x2, y2) = (2, 0).

m = (0 - (-4)) / (2 - 0) = 4 / 2 = 2

Therefore, the steepness of the line is 2.

Now, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to write the equation of the line l.

The point-slope form is given by:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is the representation of one of the points on the line, and m is described as the slope of the line.

Let's use the point (0, -4) as our reference point:

y - (-4) = 2(x - 0)

Simplifying this equation, we get:

y + 4 = 2x

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get the final equation of the line:

y = 2x - 4
