Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets first try to find the slope between the two points. Note, if the slope is 0, then the line would be a horizontal line. If the slope is undefined, then it is a vertical line.

We can use the slope formula to find the slope between the two lines, but notice something. The slope formula is technically just the change in y divided by the change in x. Between the two points, the y-value does not change and the x-value does change. This means that the change in y is 0, but the change in x is not zero. This means that the slope would be 0, resulting in a horizontal line.

Now, we know that the resulting line is horizontal, meaning it will take the form of y = _. Since the y-values for both of the points is 6, it makes sense to say that the equation for the line would be y = 6.

I hope this helps. Happy studying.

Since 1995 the cost of a bag of groceries has increased about 2.5% each year. The equation C = 25(1.025)x will give the value of

Marianna [84]

Answer: 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation showing the value of the bag after x years is $C=25(1.025)^x$

If the price of the bag increased by 2.5%, from the equation, we can deduce that

Initial cost of the bag is 25

Double of the initial value is 50

Insert it in the equation

$\Rightarrow 50=25(1.025)^x\\\Rightarrow 2=1.025^x\\\text{Taking natural log}\\\Rightarrow \ln 2=x\ln (1.025)\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{\ln 2}{\ln 1.025}\\\\\Rightarrow x=28.07\approx 28$
