ANSWER
= 200000 x (1-4.5%)^30
= 200000 x (1-0.045)^30
= 200000 x 0.955^30
= 50249.43
= 50249

What is the equation of the following line written in slope intercept form? (-5,-1)

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph we have two points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3).

Look at the picture.

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{-3-(-1)}{-2-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}$

Put it to the equation in slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+b$

We can't read the y-intercept from the graph. Therefore put the coordinates of the point (-5, -1) to the equation and calculate b:

$-1=-\dfrac{2}{3}(-5)+b$

$-1=\dfrac{10}{3}+b$ subtract 10/3 from both sides

$-\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{10}{3}=b\to b=-\dfrac{13}{3}$

Finally:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}$

Two spinners are spun. One has 5 sections labeled Red, Orange, Purple, Yellow, and Green. The other has three sections labeled 1

quester [9]

Answer:

$S = 15$ possible outcomes

Step-by-step explanation:

For any experiment, the sample space of this experiment is the set of all the possible results of the experiment.

In this case we have two spinners. The first has 5 colors, by spinning the spinner you can get up to 5 different results. Therefore the sample space is $S_1 = 5$

For the second spinner there are 3 possible results. By spinning the spinner you can get the numbers 1, 2 or 3. Then $S_2 = 3$ .

Then, if the two spinners are rotated, the sample space would be:

$S = 5*3$

$S = 15$ possible outcomes.

The tree diagram shown in the attached image shows the 15 possible results

{R, 1} {R, 2} {R, 3} {O, 1} {O, 2} {O, 3} {Y, 1} {Y, 2} {Y, 3} {P, 1} {P, 2} {P, 3} {G, 1}

{G, 2} {G, 3}

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In three days, the ant farm consumed 1/2 an apple. In 6 days the ant farm will consume 1 apple. We can multiply 6 days by 3 for three apples.

6(3)=18 days
