Answer:

y=-1/2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the points to find the slope of the line.

Equation: y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

2-4/-2-(-6)

2-4/-2+6

-2/4

-1/2 is the slope of the line

So the equation is y=-1/2x+b

We can substitute one of the x-coordinates and the matching y-coordinate into this equation:

2=-1/2*(-2)+b

2=1+b

1=b

b=1

Therefore, the equation is y=-1/2x+1

Joanne buys a car for $1500 after 12 months Joanne is forced to sell the car for 10% less than what she brought it for, how much

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$1350

Step-by-step explanation:

Given she sold the car 10% less than what she bought it, amount she sold the car will be 10% of the amount she bought the car subtracted from the amount she bought he car .

She bought the car for $1500

Therefore,

10% of $1500

10% /100% x $1500

0.1 x $1500

$150

Now , amount she sold the car = $1500 - $150

= $1350

She sold the car for $1350

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Sigma_{k=1}^{16} (k - 5)^2 \\= (1- 5)^2 + (2- 5)^2 + (3- 5)^2 + \\ (4- 5)^2 + (5- 5)^2 + (6- 5)^2 \\+ (7- 5)^2 + (8- 5)^2 + (9- 5)^2 \\+ (10- 5)^2 + (11- 5)^2 + (12- 5)^2 \\+ (13- 5)^2 + (14- 5)^2 + (15- 5)^2\\ + (16- 5)^2 \\\\=(-4)^2 + (-3)^2 + (-2)^2 + (-1)^2 + (0)^2 \\+ (1)^2 + (2)^2 + (3)^2 + (4)^2 + (5)^2 \\+ (6)^2 + (7)^2 + (8)^2 + (9)^2 + (10)^2 + \\ (11)^2 \\\\=16 + 9 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 \\+ 36 + 49+ 64 + 81 + 100 + 121$
