Get y by itself to get the slope. So 18x+15y=90. Move 18x to the other side of the equation. Now you have 15y=-18x+90. Divide both sides by 15 to get y by itself. Now it's y= -18/15x + 6. Reduce -18/15 to the simplest fraction. You have y= -6/5x+6. Any number can replace the 6 in the equation to give you a parallel line...it's the slope that makes it parallel, not the y intercept. So y= -6/5x+10 or y=- -6/5x-1 would satisfy your parallel slope equation.

A person borrows $10,000 and repays the loan at the rate of $2,400 per year. The lender charges interest of 10% per year. Assumi

Answer:

a) $M(t)=24000-14000e^{t/10}$

b) It takes 5.390 years to pay off the loan.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The differential equation for the variation in the amount of the loan M is

$\frac{dM}{dt}=0.1M-2400$

We can express this equation as:

$\frac{dM}{dt}=0.1M-2400\\\\10\int \frac{dM}{M-24000} =\int dt\\\\10ln(M-24000)=t\\\\M-24000=Ce^{t/10}\\\\M=Ce^{t/10}+24000\\\\M(0)=Ce^{0/10}+24000=10000\\\\C+24000=10000\\\\C=-14000\\\\M(t)=24000-14000e^{t/10}$
