Answer:

$1950

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple interest amount payable is given by

A=P(1+rt) where p is principal amount, A is final amount paid, t is time and r is rate of interest. For the first case

A=15000(1+0.03*4)=$16800

For second case

A=15000(1+0.05*5)=$18750

Difference will be 18750-16800=$1950

Indicate the equation of the line, in standard form, that passes through (2, -4) and has a slope of 3/5. Enter your answer into

Papessa [141]

keeping in mind that standard form for a linear equation means

• all coefficients must be integers, no fractions

• only the constant on the right-hand-side

• all variables on the left-hand-side, sorted

• "x" must not have a negative coefficient

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-4})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{3}{5} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-4)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{3}{5}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{2})\implies y+4=\cfrac{3}{5}x-\cfrac{6}{5}$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{5}}{5(y+4)=5\left( \cfrac{3}{5}x-\cfrac{6}{5} \right)}\implies 5y+20=3x-6\implies 5y=3x-26 \\\\\\ -3x+5y=-26\implies 3x-5y=26$
