What is the slope of the line?

meriva

The slope of the line can be defined as y = mx + b, where m is the slope
To find the slope, one will need to use the expression Δy/Δx (y final - y initial)/(x final - x initial)
For this problem, that equals 1/3

Now we will use the point slope form
(y - y initial) = m (x - x initial):

y + 1 = 1/3 (x - 2)

y = 1/3x - 5/3

How long would it take to double your principal in an account that pays 6.5% annual interest compounded continuously? round your

prisoha [69]

It would take 10.7 years.

The formula for continuously compounded interest is:
$A=Pe^{rt}$
where P is the principal, r is the interest rate as a decimal number, and t is the number of years.

Using our information we have:
$A=Pe^{0.065t}$

We want to know when it will double the principal; therefore we substitute 2P for A and solve for t:
$2P=Pe^{0.065t}$

Divide both sides by P:
$\frac{2P}{P}=\frac{Pe^{0.065t}}{P}
\\
\\2=e^{0.065t}$

Take the natural log, ln, of each side to "undo" e:
$\ln{2}=\ln{e^{0.065t}}
\\
\\0.6931471806=0.065t$

Divide both sides by 0.065:
$\frac{0.6931471806}{0.065}=\frac{0.065t}{0.065}
\\
\\10.7\approx t$
