Look at the picture.

The point-slope form of a line:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (0, 1) and (2, 0). Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{0-1}{2-0}=\dfrac{-1}{2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}(x-0)\\\\y-1=-\dfrac{1}{2}x\qquad|+1\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1$

Answer: $f(x)=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+1$

Two boats leave the same place at the same time. The first boat heads due north at 10 kilometers per hour. The second boat heads

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

18.87 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

First boat is heading North with a speed of 10 km/hr.

Second boat is heading West with a speed of 16 km/hr.

Time for which they move = 2.5 hours

To find:

The speed at which the distance is increasing between the two boats.

Solution:

Let the situation be represented by the attached diagram.

Their initial position is represented by point O from where they move towards point A and point B respectively.

$Distance = Speed \times Time$

$Distance\ OA = 10 \times 2.5 = 25\ km$

$Distance\ OB = 16 \times 2.5 = 40\ km$

We can use Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance AB.

AB is the hypotenuse of the right angled $\triangle AOB$ .

According to Pythagorean theorem:

$\text{Hypotenuse}^{2} = \text{Base}^{2} + \text{Perpendicular}^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^{2} = OA^{2} + OB^{2}\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25^2 + 40^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 = 2225^2\\\Rightarrow AB^2 \approx 47.17\ km$

The speed at which distance is increasing between the two boats is given as:

$\dfrac{47.17}{2.5} \approx 18.87\ km/hr$

Ms. Whodunit needs $15 000 to go on her dream vacation in four years. How much

lisov135 [29]

For each situation, we have that:

11) Using compound interest, it is found that she needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

12) Using the future value formula, it is found that you will have $728,753 after 48 years.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

$A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

In which:

A(t) is the amount of money after t years.

P is the principal(the initial sum of money).

r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).

n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.

For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:

A(t) = 15000, t = 4, r = 0.055, n = 2.

Hence we solve for P to find the amount that needs to be invested.

$A(t) = P\left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt}$

$15000 = P\left(1 + \frac{0.055}{2}\right)^{2 \times 8}$

$(1.0275)^{16}P = 15000$

$P = \frac{15000}{(1.0275)^{16}}$

P = $9,718.11.

She needs to invest $9,781.11 now.

<h3>What is the future value formula?</h3>

It is given by:

$V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]$

In which:

P is the payment.

n is the number of payments.

r is the interest rate.

For item 12, the parameters are given as follows:

P = 150, r = 0.07/12 = 0.005833, n = 48 x 12 = 576.

Hence the amount will be given by:

$V(n) = P\left[\frac{(1 + r)^{n-1}}{r}\right]$

$V(n) = 150\left[\frac{(1.005833)^{575}}{0.005833}\right]$

V(n) = $728,753.

You will have $728,753 after 48 years.
