Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 24 when x = - 15, then

24 = - 15k ( divide both sides by - 15 )

k = \frac{24}{-15} = - \frac{8}{5} = - 1.6 , thus

y = - 1.6x ← equation of variation

When y = 16, then

16 = - 1.6x ( divide both sides by - 1.6 )

x = - 10 → c

What is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 4/3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b is the formula for finding the slope intercept form equation

m = slope

b = y intercept

If you look at points (-3, 0) and (0, 4), you can calculate the slope

You have to go over, from point (-3, 0), 3 times, and up four to get to the point (0, 4)

Slope is change in y over change in x, so, if we look to see where the line crosses the y-axis, or vertical axis, we can see it reach the number four on the y-axis, b = 4

Now, lets create your equation...

y = 4/3x + 4

If $1,000 is loaned for 5 months at 6 % annual rate, how much interest is earned?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Interest earned is $25.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find simple interest is:

I = P₀rt

Where

I = interest rate

P₀ = Principal amount

r = interest rate

t= time

5 months = 5/12 years = 0.42 years

I = 1000* 6/100*0.42

I = 1000*0.06*0.42

I = 60*0.42

I = 25.2

Interest earned is $25.2
