Give the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to –7x – 8y = 12 and contains P(–3, 1)

1 answer:

6 0

∵the line is ⊥ to -7x -8y =12
∴its slope = -(-7/-8)= -7/8
∵it passes through P
∴(y-1)=(-7/8)(x+3)
y-1 = (-7/8)x - 21/8
y = (-7/8)x -13/8

bearhunter [10]

we are given

The water level in Ricky lake changes at an average of -7/48 inch for 1 year

It means that

In 1 year , the water level changes at $\frac{-7}{48} inches$

and we have to find the water level change after 5 years

so, we can multiply both sides by 5

In 5*1 year , the water level changes at $5*\frac{-7}{48} inches$

In 5 years , the water level changes at $\frac{-35}{48} inches$

Hence,

the water level change after 5 years is $\frac{-35}{48} inches$ ........Answer

What is the future value of 300000 with an interest rate of 17% per annum for 30 days?

Anvisha [2.4K]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$300000\\
r=rate\to 17\%\to \frac{17}{100}\to &0.17\\
t=years\to \frac{30}{365}\to &\frac{6}{73}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=300000\left(1+0.17\cdot \frac{6}{73}\right)$
