$1.)\\\\(5,1) \ \ and \ \ (2,7)\\\\First \ find \ the \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ thru \ the \ points \: \\ \\ m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} } \\ \\m=\frac{ 7-1}{2-5} = \frac{6}{-3}=-2 \\ \\ Use \ point \ form \ of \ a \ line\ with \ one \ point: \\ \\ y-y_{1} =m(x-x _{1}) \\ \\m=-2 , \ \x_{1}=5, \ \ y_{1}=1 \\ \\y-1 = -2(x-5 ) \\\\y=-2x+10+1 \\ \\y=-2x+11$

$2.)\\\\(5,3)\ \ and \ \ (-2,3)\\\\First \ find \ the \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ thru \ the \ points \: \\ \\ m= \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1} } \\ \\m=\frac{ 3-3}{-2-5} = \frac{0}{-7}=0\\ \\ Use \ point \ form \ of \ a \ line\ with \ one \ point: \\ \\ y-y_{1} =m(x-x _{1}) \\ \\m=0 , \ \x_{1}=5, \ \ y_{1}=3 \\ \\y-3 = 0\cdot (x-5 ) \\\\y-3=0 \\ \\y=3$

Jack recieved $600 for his birthday. If he saves it in a bank account with 8% interest compounded yearly, how much money will he

so 21 - 13, the money will be invested for 8 years.

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$600\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\to &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{yearly, thus once} \end{array}\to &1\\ t=years\to &8 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=600\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 8}\implies A=600(1.08)^8\implies A\approx 1110.558126$
