Answer:

y=-4x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following two points: (-2,5) and (-1,1)

We want to write the equation of the line that passes through these two lines in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, let's find the slope

The formula for the slope (m) calculated from 2 points is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have everything we need to calculate the slope, but let's label the value of the points to avoid any confusion

x_1=-2\\y_1=5\\x_2=-1\\y_2=1

Now substitute into the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{1-5}{-1--2}
Simplify

m=\frac{1-5}{-1+2}

Subtract

m=\frac{-4}{1}

Divide

m=-4

Now substitute -4 as m into the equation:

y=-4x+b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through both (-2, 5) and (-1, 1), we can use either point to help solve for b.

Taking (-2,5) for example:

Substitute -2 as x and 5 as y:

5=-4(-2)+b

Multiply

5=8+b

Subtract 8 from both sides

-3=b

Substitute -3 as b.

y=-4x-3

Hope this helps!

Use a formula to find the monthly payment on a home mortgage of $84,400 at 4.884% interest for 15 years.
leonid [27]
The applicable formula is
  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1+r/12)^(-12n))
where P is the principal amount,
r is the annual interest rate (compounded monthly), and
n is the number of years.

Using the formula, we find
  A = 84,400*(0.04884/12)/(1 -(1+0.04884/12)^(-12*15))
  = 84,400*0.00407/(1 -1.00407^-180)
  = 343.508/0.518627
  ≈ 662.34

The monthly payment on a mortgage of $84,400 for 15 years at 4.884% will be
  $662.34
