y = - 
x - 34
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 68, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 34 )
m = 
= 
= -
the y-intercept = (0, - 34 ) ⇒ c = - 34
y= - x - 34
3/8 is 0.375, which is bigger than 0.3, so 3/8 is larger.
The slope-intercept form is y = 2x-3.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
Given,
- The equation of the line is y=2x+7.
- The general equation of the line is in the form y= mx+c.
- where 'm' represents the slope of the line.
<u>Comparing the given equation with general equation, it can be determined that</u> :
m = 2 and c = 7 (y-intercept).
The given line passes through the point (3,3) which is equal to (x1,y1)
Therefore, x1=3 and y1=3.
Substitute m=2 and the values of (x1,y1) in the slope-intercept form,
The slope-intercept form is (y-y1) = m (x-x1)
(y-3) = 2(x-3)
y = 2x-6+3
y = 2x-3
Answer:
The initial investment is $821.58
Step-by-step explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future Value (FV)= $90,597
Number of periods (n)= 25*12= 300
Interest rate (i)= 1.58% = 0.0158
<u>To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following present value (PV) formula:</u>
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 90,597 / (1.0158^300)
PV= $821.58
The initial investment is $821.58
