Equation is y = -1/6x
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Given that slope, m = -1/6 and a coordinate (12,-2). Write the equation and find the y-intercept, b.
⇒ y = mx + b
⇒ -2 = -1/6 × 12 + b
⇒ -2 = -2 + b
∴ b = 0
- Step 2: Write the equation in slope intercept form.
⇒ y = -1/6x + 0
⇒ y = -1/6x

Answer:
$10,870
Step-by-step explanation:
we can multiply the initial value (27500) by (1-.06), or 0.94, raised to the 15th power
27500(.94)^15 = 10,870.52
Answer is -23
Add 4 from both sides
Subtract 5 from both sides
Then divide 7
