Y=7 is just a straight horizonal line that is perpendicular to the y axis at 7
and y=1/2x+6, is in y=mx+b form where m=slope and b=yintercept so
to find the intersection, yo just find when both sentances are correct so
y=7
subsitute that into y=1/2x+6
7=1/2x+6
subtract 6 from both sides
1=1/2x
multiply both sides by 2
2=x
so the point (2,7) is the intersection
First, you need to isolate the x in the first equation.
-x + 5y = 1
Subtract 5y from both sides, leaving you with the following equation:
-x = 1-5y
Because you are trying to solve for positive x and not negative x, you need to make x positive. Therefore you divide both sides by -1. In Algebra, when 1 is the coefficient of the variable, it is not shown, but it is still there. The new equation will be the following: x = 5y-1
Now you just need to substitute the x within the second equation for the x equation we just solved for.
Therefore, the right answer will be 2(5y-1)+4y= -4. Now, all you have to do is choose the answer that states exactly that, which is the first choice.
Your money grows faster because the interest is added back into the principle and then the next time it compounds you get interest on the new principle amount. So for example, you deposit $100 in an account that gets 5% interest compounded semiannually. The first time it compounds you get $5 added to your account so your new balance is $105. The next time it compounds you get 5% on $105 so you get $5.25 added and so on. If this is only happening semi-annually that would be all you get for the year. But if it happens quarterly you would get would get deposits of $5.51 and $5.79 as well. If it compounds monthly or even daily your money would grow more and more. Hope this helps.
