Answer:
The rate of return is 8%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The time span from 1794 to 2018 is (2018 - 1794) = 224 years.
Now, a penny i.e. 0.01 pounds of money as a principal gets the final sum of 345000 pounds after 224 years.
Here we have to calculate the rate of return if the interest is compounded yearly.
Using the formula of compound interest of r% APR, we get

⇒ 1 + 0.01r = 1.08
⇒ 0.01r = 0.08
⇒ r = 8% (Answer)
Use the 2 points and use the formula

to get slope

and you get a slope of -2
for the second question its non of the above? i think the x intercept is 0.6666. if you're talking about y intercept then its -5
Let's have a look:
2(4)= 8 (this would not work)
5(4)= 20 (this wouldn't work)
7(4)= 28 This does, let's check the others.
7(6)= 42 This does not work.
"D" would be the correct answer.
I hope this helps!
