This is not a function, therefore, the slope is undefined.

I would propose using a VERTICAL LINE TEST. This test is to check vertically if there are more than one coordinates/points in one vertical line. That line is vertical, and there are many points, which makes it not a function. And if it is not a function, then the slope is undefined.

The slope, also, is the average rate of change. The formula you use to find the slope is $\frac{y(2) - y(1)}{x(2) - x(1)}$ . You would take any coordinates and insert them into this formula.

Slope would be undefined because there are many many y-values for one x value. This is impossible for ANY function. To be specific, the correct equation that names the graph is x=4. Please note that this is not a function. If it goes straight up, it is UNDEFINED!!!

Hope I helped!

The answer is D

As part of your retirement plan, you want to set up an annuity in which a regular payment of $35,000 is made at the end of each

Finger [1]

Answer:

Option d)$401,447.24

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that as part of your retirement plan, you want to set up an annuity in which a regular payment of $35,000 is made at the end of each year at rate of 6% compounded annually for 20 years

So first of all we need to find the future value of annuity using the formula as shown below :

$FV= p\frac{[(1+\frac{r}{n})^{(n)(t)}-1)]}{\frac{r}{n}}$

Here, FV = future value of annuity

p = $35000 (annual deposit)

r is rate = 6% = 0.06

n = number of compounding = 1 ( as we are compounding annually )

t = number of years = 20

So plugging in all the values in the formula , we get

$FV= 35000\frac{[(1+\frac{0.06}{1})^{(1)(20)}-1)]}{\frac{0.06}{1}}$

Simplifying further , we get

$FV= 35000\frac{[(1+0.06)^{20}-1)]}{0.06}$

Plugging in the given values in the calculator , we get

FV = $ 1287495.69

So far we have got the Total amount for annuity , from here we need to use the concept of compound interest and find the principal amount to be deposited to get the required total amount of $ 1287495.69

The formula for compound interest when compounded annually is given by:

$A=P(1+r)^t$
