Hello!

In the slope intercept equation, b represents the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is where the line hits the y-axis. This shows that a point on a line would be higher due to this interception.

I hope this helps!

Do you mean y = mx + b instead of y = mc + b? In that case:

b in y = mx + b format is the y-intercept, as this kind of equation is called slope-intercept form.

You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire.You have the option of investing this money in two funds.Fund A pays 1.2% annu

krok68 [10]

Let x be the amount of money, you fund in Fund A and y be the amount of mone yyou fund in Fund B.

1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then

$x+y=250,000.$

2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then $x\cdot 0.012=0.012x$ is annual interest income in Fund A.

Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then $y\cdot 0.062=0.062y$ is annual interest income in Fund B.

Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then

$0.012x+0.062y=8,000.$

3. Solve the system of equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=250,000\\0.012x+0.062y=8,000.\end{array}\right.$

Express x from first equation $x=250,000-y$ and substitute it into the second equation

$0.012(250,000-y)+0.062y=8,000.$

Multiply this equation by 1000:

$12(250,000-y)+62y=8000,000,\\ \\3000,000-12y+62y=8000,000,\\ \\62y-12y=8000,000-3000,000,\\ \\50y=5000,000,\\ \\y=100,000$

Then

$x=250,000-100,000=150,000.$

Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.
