A line passes through the point(4,-1) and (2,3). What is the slope of the line

1 answer:

7 0

Slope is found using the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
So we can plug the numbers into the equation

(-1)-3/ 4-2
(-1)-3= -4
4-2=2

The equation is now -4/2
-4/2= -2

So the slope of the line is -2

Which can also be written as y=-2x

The annual interest rate of Mike's savings account is 4.8%, and simple interest is calculated monthly. What is the periodic inte

Reptile [31]

The correct option will be: d. 0.4%

For finding the periodic interest rate , we need to divide the annual interest rate by the number of times interest calculated in a year.

Here, the simple interest is calculated monthly, that means the number of times interest calculated in a year will be 12.

Annual interest rate is 4.8%

So, the periodic interest rate = $\frac{4.8}{12}= 0.4$ %

Given:

$\log_34\approx 1.262$

$\log_37\approx 1.771$

To find:

The value of $\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)$ .

Solution:

We have,

$\log_34\approx 1.262$

$\log_37\approx 1.771$

Using properties of log, we get

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_349$ $\left[\because \log_a\dfrac{m}{n}=\log_am-\log_an\right]$

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-\log_37^2$

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=\log_34-2\log_37$ $[\log x^n=n\log x]$

Substitute $\log_34\approx 1.262$ and $\log_37\approx 1.771$ .

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-2(1.771)$

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=1.262-3.542$

$\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)=-2.28$

Therefore, the value of $\log_3\left(\dfrac{4}{49}\right)$ is $-2.28$ .

At the soup to nuts cafeteria, larry orders two pieces of toast and a bagel, which comes out to $\$1.30$. Curly orders a bagel a

kotegsom [21]

Let us take costs of a piece of toast = $t, , one bagel cost=$b and a muffin cost=$m.

Larry

Two pieces of toast and a bagel cost = $1.30

2t+b=1.30 -------------equation(1)

Let us solve the equation(1) for t in terms of b, because we need to find one bagel cost.

Subtracting b from both sides we get

2t+b-b=1.30-b

2t= 1.30-b

Dividing by 2 on both sides.

2t/2= (1.30-b)/2

t= (1.30-b)/2

Curly

A bagel and a muffin cost = $2.50.

b + m = 2.50 -------------equation(2)

Solving equation for m in terms of b, we get

m= 2.50-b.

Moe

A piece of toast, two bagels, and three muffins cost = $6.95

t + 2b + 3m = 6.95 ......................equation(3).

Substituting t= (1.30-b)/2 and m= 2.50-b in equation (3)

(1.30-b)/2 + 2b + 3(2.50-b) = 6.95 .

Multiplying each term by 2 to get rid 2 from denominator of (1.30-b).

2*(1.30-b)/2 + 2*2b + 2*3(2.50-b) = 2*6.95

1.30-b + 4b + 6(2.50-b) = 13.90.

1.30 - b + 4b +15 - 6b = 13.90

Combining like terms

-3b +16.30 = 13.90

Subtracting 16.30 from both sides.

-3b +16.30-16.30 = 13.90-16.30.

-3b= -2.4

Dividing both sides by -3.

-3b/-3 = -2.4/-3

b = 0.8

Therefore, cost of one bagel = $0.80.
