The solution is where the red line crosses the blue line, which on the X axis is between the 1 and the 2, so about 1.5.
Convert the fractions to decimal and see which one is close to 1.5:
13/8 = 1.625
25/16 = 1.5625
7/4 = 1.75
27/16 = 1.6875
The closest one to 1.5 is 25/16
Answer:
y = -2/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = slope
(-3,-1) = (x,y)
<em>Plus in the coordinates</em>
-1 = -2/3(-3) + b
<em>negative times negative = positive</em>
-2/3 * -3 = 2
-1 = 2 +b
<em>Use inverse operations</em>
-2 --2
-3 = b
y = -2/3x - 3
5.50% = 0.0550
25 + 0.0550(25) = 25 + 1.38 = 26.38
