Answer:

x-intercept is at (-14,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the equation of the straight line in slope-intercept form using the given points

Equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form

y = mx + b    (1)

where m = slope and b is the y-intercept

Slope can be calculated using any two of the three given points, computing their y difference values and dividing by the corresponding difference in x values

If (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are two points on the line, slope

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

Choosing the points (-74, 18) and (-54, 12)

m = \frac{18-12}{-74-(-54) }=  \frac{6}{-74+54} = \frac{-6}{20} = -0.3

Plugging value of m in equation (1)

y = -0.300x + b   (2)

To find the value of b, the y-intercept, we can select any of the points, plug in x and y values and solve for b

Let's choose the first point which we have not used

We have x = -94, y = 24

Plugging these values into equation (2)

24 = -0.3(-94) + b

24 = 28.2 + b

b = 14-28.2 = -4.2

Therefore b = -4.2 and the equation of the line is

y = -0.3x - 4.2

The x intercept can be found by setting y = 0 in the above equation and solving for x

Setting y = 0 we get

0 = -0.3x -4.2

0.3x = -4.2

x = (-4.2)/0.3 = -14

Therefore x-intercept is at (-14,0)

A 68-year old retiree has a pension savings of $43,000, a 401k of $75,000, and an IRA account of $62,000. Before 2008, he had 2%
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The answer is the IRA

Step-by-step explanation:

If he takes out 2% from each account,  the highest penalty will be for the IRA account which is, 6% of 62,000 is $3,720. He will also take 2% of that 62,000 which will be $1,240. The total will be $4,960.

For the 401k account the withdrawal is $1,500 and the penalty is $3,000. That is $460 less than the IRA account.

I hope this answer helps.

What type of angles are ∠4 and∠6? Question 2 options: adjacent angles alternate exterior angles alternate interior angles corres
lianna [129]

Angles 4 and 6 are called Alternate Exterior Angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate Exterior Angles are a pair of angles on the outer side of the each of two lines but on opposite sides of the transversal.

When we take two parallel lines they will create 8 angles, such as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & 8.

In that angle 6 is 65 degrees.

Angles 1,2,3 & $ are in one line and remaining four angles on other line.

So Angles 4 and 6 are alternate exterior angles.

Anni [7]

Answer:

A=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Set your equation up as following:

180=90+(x+37)+(x+67)

180=90+37+67+2x

180-90-37-67=2x

-14=2x

-14/2=x

-7=x

Angle A = x+37

A=-7+37

A=30
