You can use point-intercept formula, m=3/5, y1=-4, x1=2
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y+4=3/5(x-2)
y+4=(3/5)x-6/5
y=(3/5)x-6/5-4
y=(3/5)x-6/5-20/5
y=(3/5)x-26/5            or  y=0.6x - 5.2

Comment
The slope is just read, and the point is used to determine b in the general equation.

General Formula
y = mx + b

Givens
m = 3/5
b is derived from (2,-4)

Derivation
y = 3/5 x + b The slope is solved.

y = -4 when x = 2
-4 = 3/5 2 + b
-4 = 3*2/5 + b
-4 = 6/5 + b              Subtract 6/5 from both sides
-4 - 6/5 = b               Multiply top and bottom of 4 by 5 to bring it to a common denominator of 5
 \frac{-4*5}{1*5}-\frac{6}{5}=\text{b}
-26/5  = b

Final equation
y = 3/5 x - 26/5 <<<<<< answer

Is 45 greater than 451/2
slava [35]

Answer:

No, it is not

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare the two numbers, start by simplifying 451/2

451 ÷ 2 = 225 R1

452/2 = 225 1/2

225 1/2 _ 45

225 1/2 > 45

Consider the following two loans for P=$12,000.
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Simple interest-?

Step-by-step explanation:

P= 12000

T=5yrs

R=5%

Now,

Simple interest - PTR/100

= 12000*5*5/100

= $3000

Again,

P=12000

T=3yrs

R=8%

Now,

Simple interest - PTR/100

= 12000*3*8/100

= $2880

Hope this helps.
