Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept of a line is y=mx +b where

  • m is the slope which is calculated as the vertical distance divided by the horizontal distance between two points.
  • b is the y-intercept for value on the y-axis for which the line crosses it.

This graph crosses the y-axis (the vertical line) halfway between -1 and -2. This  is -3/2. This means only answers a, c, and d are options.

The graph moves up from -3/2 to its next point at (-4,0). We calculate the slope using:

Slope:m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We substitute x_1=0\\y_1=-1.5 and x_2=-4\\y_2=2

m=\frac{2-(-1.5)}{-4-0}

m=\frac{2+1.5}{-4}=\frac{3.5}{-4} =-0.875

This decimal is equivalent to -7/8. This means C is the answer.

How much should you invest at 5% simple interest in order to earn $100 interest in 12 months?​
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

You should invest $2000 at 5% simple interest in order to earn $100 interest in 12 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula

I = Prt

where

I = Interest earned

P = The principal (let say in $)

r = The Interest Rate

t = time

Given that

  • I = $100
  • r = 5%
  • t = 12 month = 1 year
  • P = The principal amount needed to invest (let say in $)

Thus,

I = Prt

100 = P × 5% × 1

100 = P × 5/100 × 1

100 × 100 = P × 5

10000 = P × 5

P = 10000/5

  = 2000 (let say in $)

Thus, you should invest $2000 at 5% simple interest in order to earn $100 interest in 12 months.

The rule for the number of fish in a home aquarium is 1 gallon of water for each inch of fish length. Marta's aquarium holds 33
tigry1 [53]
<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • A: 7 inches
  • B: 6 inches
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We can let the variables A and B stand for the length in inches of fish A and fish B, respectively.

If we assume each person bought fish having a total length of 1 inch per gallon of aquarium, then we can write equations ...

... 3A +2B = 33 . . . . . total length of Marta's fish

... 3A +4B = 45 . . . . . total length of Hank's fish

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

... 2B = 12

... B = 6 . . . . . divide by 2

Using this value in the first equation, we have ...

... 3A + 2·6 = 33

... 3A = 21 . . . . . . . . subtract 12

... A = 7 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Fish A is 7 inches long; fish B is 6 inches long.
