m =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m =(-2 + 3 )/(-3 -2)
m = 1/-5
m = -1/5
slope of the line that is perpendicular = 5
The answer is $654.06.
5.5% of $575 is $31.63. 575 x 0.055 = 31.63
This means that in one year he earns $31.63. In two years it will be $63.25 (31.63 x 2 = 63.25)
Then in half a year it will be $15.81 (31.63/2 = 15.81)
Finally add 15.81 and 63.25 to get $79.06 which you then add to the initial $575 to get the total amount earned in 2 1/2 years which is $654.06.
B. (k+10f)(k-5f) you can tell in 2 ways. 1. if the second sign is neg then the signs in the factors are going to be one neg and one positive so that knocks out C and D. Then you look at the second term and since the 5 is positive then the 10 has to be positive so you end up with a positive 5kf.
The second way is to FOIL them out. When you check B you get

combine your like terms and you have your original expression of

Hope that helps
