Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{3}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ 2x-y=5.\\\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form y = mx + b:}\\\\2x-y=5\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\-y=-2x+5\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\y=2x-5\to m_1=2\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(3,\ 0).\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=3,\ y=0:\\\\0=-\dfrac{1}{2}(3)+b\\\\0=-\dfrac{3}{2}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{3}{2} \text{to both sides}\\\\b=\dfrac{3}{2}

For her college fund jenny's parents invested $5000 four years ago. the account has now reached $6312. what is the approximate a
Tasya [4]

Answer:

Rate = 6.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Principal (P) = $5000

Interest (I) = $6312

Time (T) = 4 years

Rate (r) = ?

This question is involves simple interest and with the formula, we can easily plug in the values to find the rate.

S.I = P(1 + rt)

S.I = simple interest

P = principal

R = Rate

T = Time

6312 = 5000(1 + r*4)

6312 = 5000 + 5000*4r

6312 - 5000 = 20000r

1312 = 20000r

r = 1312 / 20000

r = 0.0656

Rate are calculated in percentage hence we'll multiply it by 100

R = 6.56%
