Answer:

Many solutions are possible. One example is (10,5) and (5,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the distance between points represented as a ratio of vertical to horizontal distances. It is a difference or subtraction. To find two points work backwards. What two points have y values with a distance of -2?

5-7=-2

So the points are (x,5) and (x,7).

Now what x values have a distance of 5?

10-5 = 5

So the points are (10,5) and (5,7).

*HELP PLEASE* How much money will Sarah have in her account if she deposits $2,700 and she invests in a simple interest savings

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

$3456

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Money deposited (principle) as $2,700
Rate of interest is 3.5%
Time is 8 years

We are required to determine the amount that will remain after 8 years

We first need to determine the interest earned after eight years using the simple interest formula.

Simple interest = (Principle × rate × interest periods) ÷ 100

Therefore;

Interest = ($2,700 × 3.5% × 8 yrs)÷ 100

= $756

Then determine the amount after 8 years

Amount = Principle + Interest

Therefore;

Amount = $2700 + $756

= $3,456

Therefore, the money in the account after 8 years is $3456

Mariana [72]

The question is incomplete. The map is attached as a photo and here is the complete question:

a. What is the actual distance between Saugerties and

Kingston? ___________________________

b. Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties. What would the

distance on the map be? ___________________________

c. On another map, the distance between Saugerties and

Kingston is 2 inches. What would the distance from Saugerties to

Catskill be on this map? __________________

Since you have asked the answer for part (c) only, here is the answer:

Answer:

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the given map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 4 inches and the scale is 1 inch = 2.5 miles.

To calculate the actual distance in miles between Saugerties and Kingston, consider the given scale:

1 inch ---------- 2.5 miles

4 inches ------ x miles

Cross multiplying:

1x = 2.5 x 4

x = 10 miles

The actual distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 10 miles.

On another map, the distance between Saugerties and Kingston is 2 inches. Which means the scale is 2 inches = 10 miles. So 1 inch = 10/2 = 5 miles

The scale on the other map is 1 inch = 5 miles.

Catskill is 15 miles from Saugerties (given in the previous part). So on the map:

1 inch -------- 5 miles

y inch ------- 15 miles

Cross multiplying:

15 = 5y

y = 15/5

y = 3 inches.

The distance from Saugerties to Catskill would be 3 inches on this map.
