First find the secant line. The slope of the secant line through (-1,1) (when x=-1) and (2,4) (when x=2) is the average rate of change of y=x^2 over the interval [-1,2]:

\text{slope}_{\text{secant}}=\dfrac{2^2-(-1)^2}{2-(-1)}=\dfrac33=1

The tangent line to y=x^2 will have a slope determined by the derivative:

y=x^2\implies y'=2x

Both the secant and tangent will have the same slope when 2x=1, or when x=\dfrac12.

Rebecca has a credit line of $6,500. She had a previous balance of $398.64 and made a payment of $250. The total of her purchase
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

$5093.37

Step-by-step explanation:

To get Rebecca's available credit we need to take all of her payments and purchases and previous balance.

Previous balance = $398.64

Purchases = $1,257.99

Payment = $250

Credit Line = $6,500

Now first we add together her purchases and previous balance.

398.64 + 1,257.99

This will give us:

$1,656.63 Total deductions.

Now we subtract that to her credit line.

$6500.00 - $1656.63

$4843.37

Now we take her payment and add it to her credit line.

$4843.37 + $250

$5093.37

So Rebecca's available credit is $5093.37.

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the given points. Complete your work in the space provided
Kruka [31]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

replacing x and y with the given value:

(-4-1)/(8-8)

-5/0

the slope is undefined because the run is 0
