The line that is parallel to this line will have the same slope of this line, as the two will never intersect. They will run side by side. The line y = 2x - 5 is written in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b. The value of m represents the slope, and in this equation m = 2. Therefore, the line we are looking for will have a slope of 2 also.
That line should also be in slope-intercept form. We now know the value of m, but we also know the value of x and y. The ordered pair (8, 10) is a point on the line, and every ordered pair is in the form (x, y). Therefore, x = 8 and y = 10. We can plug those values into y = mx + b, along with m = 2. That gives us:
10 = 2(8) + b We need to solve for b.
10 = 16 + b
b = -6
D. 5/4 * 12/1 equals 60/4 which is 15 then minus 1 to get 14.
Answer:
There was an 11% increase.
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula to find a percent increase is this: (original amount - new amount / original amount) * 100
If you fill in the formula, you get this:
(164,000 - 182,040 / 164,000) * 100
Solve:
(-18,040 / 164,000) * 100 ---> If the number being divided is negative, find the absolute value.
(18,040 / 164,000) * 100 =
0.11 * 100
11%
Note the hundredth place value (underlined and bolded):
9.3<u>7</u>5
Look at the number to the right of the hundredth place value. It is a 5. Because you round up if the number is 5 or greater, you round up in this case (you round down if it is 4 or less).
9.375 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 9.38
