A line contains the points (-26, -37) and (-32,-61)

Let the points be A(-26, -37) and B(-32, -61). And let a be the slope.
To find the slope using the known coordinates of 2 points from the line, we use the equation:
a = Δy / Δx
In which Δy represents the subtraction of the y coordinates of the 2 points (Δy = yB - yA) and Δx represents the subtraction of the x coordinates of the 2 points (Δx = xB - xA).

So a = Δy / Δx
= yB - yA / xB - xA
= -61 + 37 / -32 + 26
= -24 / -6

In the simplest form, we divide the numerator and denominator by 6.
- 24 / -6 = 24 / 6 = 4 / 1 = 4.

So the slope of the line which contains the points (-26, -37) and (-32, -61) is a=4.

Hope this helps! :)

how much would $600 invested at 8% interest compound continuously be worth after 3 years? round to the nearest cent a(t)=p.ert
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Given:
$600 principal
8% rate = 8/100 = 0.08
3 years time

Solving for A:
A = P⋅e^rt
where:
A is the amount
P is the principal
e is the mathematical constant
r is the rate of interest
t is the time in years

A = P⋅e^rt
= 600⋅e^(0.08⋅3)
= 600(2.718281828459045)^(0.24)
A = $762.70

$600 compounded continuously at a rate of 8% for 3 years will yield a final amount of $762.70
