Derek has a bank account that pays 2.1% simple interest. The balance is $910. When will the account grow to $1,000?

swat32

Answer:

The account will grow to 1,000 in 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the account will become 1000, the interest is 90 dollars. I=p*r*t.

90=910*.021*t

90=19.11*t.

t=4.71, so it will take 5 whole years.

A line passes through the points (-1,-1) and (5,8) which points lie on the same line?

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: all points $(x,y)$ that satisfy $y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is

$\frac{-1-8}{-1-5}=\frac{-9}{-6}=\frac{3}{2}$

So, substituting into point-slope form, the equation is

$y+1=\frac{3}{2}(x+1)\\\\y+1=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}\\\\y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, all points $(x,y)$ that satisfy $y=\frac{3}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}$ will lie on the same line.
