<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -1/7x - 1

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the slope-intercept form with the information that is given.

Slope intercept form is represented as y = mx + b

In this case, we know that the points are at:

  • (7,-2)
  • (0,-1)

With the information above, we can solve the problem.

In order to find the slope, we would use the slope equation.

Slope equation:

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

To use this slope equation, we would need to plug in the points from the coordinates into the equation. Your equation should look like this:

m=\frac{-1--2}{0-7}

Now, you solve to find the slope of the line.

m=\frac{-1--2}{0-7} =\frac{1}{-7} =-\frac{1}{7}

When you're done solving, you should get -1/7.

This means that the slope of the line is -1/7. We would plug 9 in our "m" variable.

Your slope intercept form should look like this:

y = -1/7x + b

For our "b" variable, it's going to be the beginning point. When we look at our (0,-1) coordinate, we would know that -1 would be our beginning point, sicne thje 0 is on the x and there's a variable for the y.

Your slope intercept form should look like this:

y = -1/7x - 1

This means that the slope intercept form of the line is y = -1/7x - 1

Answer:

The equation is y=(-1/7)x+-1 or y=(-1/7)x-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept for is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

You are given (7,-2) and (0,-1).

Line them up and subtract vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference:

( 7, -2)

-(0 , -1)

-----------

7      -1

So the slope is -1/7.

Now we know our equation is in the form

y=(-1/7)x+b.

Use one of the points you are given along with y=(-1/7)x+b to find b.

I'm choosing (0,-1) to plug in for (x,y):

-1=(-1/7)(0)+b

-1=0+b

-1=b

So the equation is y=(-1/7)x+-1 or y=(-1/7)x-1.

Malliki Williams earned a $48,000 from royalties on her cookbook.She paid a 28% income tax on these royalties. The balance wasin
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$20000 and $14560

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to get the total tax paid by Malliki Williams

To get that, we have to multiply her income tax (28%) by total royalties ($48000)

28% of $48000 = $13440

Balance after tax = $48000 - $13440

Balance = $34560

She invested some of the balance ($34560) at the rate of

3.25% ---- First investment

1.75% --- Second investment

Assume her first investment is x dollars

Definitely, her second investment would be $34560 - x

3.25% of x + 1.75% (34560 - x ) = 904.8

0.0325x + 0.0175(34560-x) = 904.8 ----- Open the bracket

0.0325x + 604.8x - 0.0175x = 904.8 ------ Collect like terms

0.0325x -0.0175x =904.8 - 604.8

0.015x = 300 ------ Divide both sides by 0.015

x = 300/0.015

x = 20000

Remember that x represents her first investment

Her second investment is $34560 - $20000 =$14560
