Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1

Answer:
Compound Interest= $3440
Final Amount= $5440
Step-by-step explanation:
Compound Interest's formula= P(1+r/100)^n
where P is Principal, r is Rate then n is Years
So in this case,,2000(1+.72)^1 = $3440
Hence, Total Amount = Principal+Interest
therefore T.A= $2000+$3440
T.A=$5440
