The formula for simple interest is <em>I</em> = <em>prt</em>, where <em>I</em> is the amount of interest, <em>p</em> is the principal borrowed, <em>r</em> is the interest rate written as a decimal number, and <em>t</em> is the amount of time in years.  First we find the amount of interest.  He borrowed $35000 but paid back $46375.  That means he paid 46375-35000 = $11375 in interest.  We can now substitute our information into our interest formula:
11375=35000(<em>r</em>)(5)
11375=35000(5)(<em>r</em>) ----- remember that multiplication is commutative
11375=175000<em>r</em>
Divide both sides by 175000 to cancel it:
11375/175000 = 175000<em>r</em>/175000
0.065 = <em>r</em>
To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
0.065(100) = 6.5%

What is the slope intercept form of (3,3) (7,-1)
kow [346]
Slope intercept form follows this general equation...
y=mx+b
With this information you have posted, all you can do is find slope, your m. To calculate for slope, you need to use this following equation...
m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}
Then, you pick one of your coordinate pairs to be 1 and the other to be 2. I will choose the first coordinate pair as 1, so...
m=\frac{-1-3}{7-3} =-1
You plug in -1 into your slope formula...
y=-1x+b
Now, to find your y-intercept, or b, you must plug in one of your coordinate pairs. In that equation, you may plug in the values (3,3), so you'll have...
3=-1(3)+b
Just solve for b and you will be done

What is the Growth/Decay Factor?
Stels [109]

Answer:

Growth/Decay Factor = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

To find the growth/decay factor (<em>m</em>), we can use the following formula:

m=\displaystyle\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug any two of the given points in the table (below, you can see that I used (2,3) and (1,9):

m=\displaystyle\frac{3-9}{2-1}\\\\m=\displaystyle\frac{-6}{1}\\\\m=-6

Therefore, the growth/decay factor is -6.

I hope this helps!

Which statement is true?
VLD [36.1K]
Hello there!


The answer is C.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:


The value of 7 in 75 is 70. 

The value of 7 in 7.5 is 7

Now, we must find how many time 7 goes into 70

70/7 = 10

This means that The value of 7 in 75 is 10 times the value in 7.5


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!
