Answer:

The equation is y= 2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the slope of the line through the points (-2,1) and (-4,-3).

where x1 = -2,  y1= 1,  x2= -4,  y2 = -3.

Now apply slope formula:

m= y2-y1/ x2-x1

m= -3-1/-4-(-2)

m = -4/-4+2

m= -4/-2

Divide the term by 2:

m = 2

Now we will apply point slope formula:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

Now substitute the values in the formula:

y-1=2(x-(-2))

y-1 =2(x+2)

y-1=2x+4

Now combine the constants:

y= 2x+4+1

y=2x+5

So the equation is y= 2x+5 ....

Isabella has twice as much money invested at 4% as she has invested at 3%, and she has $500 more invested at 5% than she has at
leva [86]
.04(2x)+.03(x)+.05(500+x)=2025

.08x+.03x+.05x+25=2025

.16x+25=2025

.16x=2000

x=12500

She has 2x invested at 4%, so she had $25000.00 invested at 4%.

If I cut a cake into equal parts and one slice = 3.333, where would I find the 0.001?​ (total of slices = 10)
ivolga24 [154]

Step-by-step explanation:

That is so because 1/3 is *not exactly equal to* 0.333333

0.333333 is an approximation of 1/3 which is correct to 6 decimal places.

So 0.333333 x 3 = 0.999999 which is approximately equal to 1.

If you want to be more accurate, you could write the fraction 1/3 everywhere and not write it in floating point form.

1/3 in floating point format will be 0.333333333…..and so on with infinite decimal places. This is because when you try to divide 1 by 3, you get a nonterminating recurring number after decimal point.

Its usually represented by a bar or dot on top of the recurring part

Ex. 1/3 = 0.3bar

(Sorry I can't get the bar on 3 by typing from keyboard)

But let's just say 0.3 bar is 0.333333…and so on to infinity.

When you multiply 0.3bar x 3 you get 0.9bar

= 0.999999….and so on to infinity.

These decimal point figures just a very great approximations of the fraction 1/3.

Hope this helps. Feel free to reply if you still have doubts.
