Answer:
1073.38
Step-by-step explanation:
975 × 0.01 = 9.75
9.75 + 975 = 984.75
984.75 × 0.09 = 88.6275
88.6275 + 984.75 = <u>1073.38</u>
Find slope as negative reciprocal of 2 => m=-1/2
y=mx + b
8=5(-1/2) +b
b=21/2
y= -1/2x +21/2
1/2 is multiplied by itself 7 times, thus an exponent of 7.
I'm always happy to help :)
