Answer:

slope = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 8) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 4)

m = $\frac{-4-8}{5+1}$ = $\frac{-12}{6}$ = - 2

2) Jennifer is considering taking out a loan with a principal of

frozen [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total value of the loan at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount borrowed

Considering Bank F's offer,

From the information given,

P = $16200

r = 5.7% = 5.7/100 = 0.057

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 8 years

Therefore,

A = 16200(1 + 0.057/12)^12 × 8

A = 16200(1.00475)^96

A = $25531.2

Considering Bank G's offer,

From the information given,

P = $16200

r = 6.2% = 6.2/100 = 0.062

n = 12 because it was compounded 12 times in a year.

t = 7 years

Therefore,

A = 16200(1 + 0.062/12)^12 × 7

A = 16200(1.00517)^84

A = $24980.4

Bank G's offer is better because she would pay a lower amount of interest in total

I would go with A. Because that’s not only his height. There could be taller people on the team that make up for his lack of height.

Ok, i need to determine if it can be written as a fraction. Then state the reason.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

a) YES. Repeating decimal

b) YES. Repeating decimal

c) NO. Decimal neither terminates nor repeats

d) YES. Terminating decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

Any rational number can be written as a fraction, that is, a division of integers.

a) The number $\overline{0.54}$ has a repetitive period of 54. It can be expressed as a fraction because its decimal are repeating forever

b) The number 0.16666... (expressed as a repeating 6) can also be converted to a fraction because it's a repeating decimal

c) The number 0.5473... cannot be expressed as a fraction because the ellipsis (...) means the decimals continue with no limit and no pattern can be found (no repetitive decimal)

d) The number 0.378 can be easily expressed as a fraction because it has a finite number of decimals (no ellipsis) or a terminating decimal
