Answer:

- $\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for the slope of the equation. The easiest way to do this would be to look for the slop in slope-intercept form, y=mx+b. Lets start converting our equation!

16 + x = -4y

First, lets flip our equation around the '=', so we can already see the future flow of slope-intercept form!

-4y = x + 16

Now, we need to get rid of the -4 in front of the y value! Lets do this by dividing both terms on the right by -4. (Key tip: Remember, the x has a 1 in front of it!

y = -1/4x - 4

Finally, we can see that our slope is going to be -1/4.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

That is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

180° rotation about origin just means that you have to flip the pre-existing image across the x-axis

Good job!

Write the equation of each line using the given information.

Leni [432]

a) x – 2y + 6 = 0 b) x + y = 1 c) y = 1 d) y = -3x + 8

<h3>Solution:</h3>

a. The points (-4,1) and (2,4) both lie on the line

The general line equation on which (a, b) and (c, d) lies is:

$y-\mathrm{b}=\frac{d-b}{c-a}(x - a)$

Here the given points are (a, b) = (-4, 1) and (c, d) = (2, 4)

Thus the required equation is:

$y-1=\frac{4-1}{2-(-4)}(x-(-4))$

On solving we get,

$\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{2+4}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow y-1=\frac{3}{6}(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2(y-1)=1(x+4)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y-2=x+4} \\\\ {\rightarrow x-2 y+6=0}\end{array}$

b.) m= -1 and the point (2, -1) lies on the line

The equation of line in point slope form is y – b = m(x – a)

where m is slope and (a, b) is a point on it

Here m = -1 and (a, b) = (2, -1)

Thus the required equation is:

y – (-1) = -1(x - 2)

y + 1 = -x + 2

y = -x + 2 -1

y = -x + 1

c. )It has the same slope as y = 5 and passes through (1, 1)

our line has same slope with y = 5, then our equation would be y = k and it passes through (x, y) = (1, 1) so, then by substitution

1 = k

k =1

Then our equation will be y = k

y = 1

d. ) m= -3 and it has a y-intercept of (0, 8)

line equation in slope intercept form is y = mx + b where m is slope and b is y – intercept.

Then, our equation will be y = -3x + 8

We took y- intercept = 8 as it is the value of y when x = 0

Hello

hjlf

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + 1/2 = 1 1/2

1 - 1/8 = 7/8

1 + 1/5 = 1 1/5

1 - 1/3 = 2/3

1 + 1/10 = 1 1/10

One and one tenth is closest to one because one tenth is the smallest amount that would need to be added or taken away to get exactly one. Hope I helped!

Greg deposited $4000 into an account with 4.6% interest, compounded semiannually. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, how muc

Zinaida [17]

The amount in account after 7 years is $ 5499.445

Solution:

The formula for total amount in compound interest is given as:

$A = p(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest

P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)

r = the annual interest rate (decimal)

n = the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t

t = the time the money is invested or borrowed for

Here given that,

A = ?

P = 4000

t = 7 years

$r = 4.6 \% = \frac{4.6}{100} = 0.046$

n = 2 ( since compounded semi annually)

Substituting the values in formula, we get

$A = 4000(1+\frac{0.046}{2})^{2 \times 7}\\\\Simplify\ the\ above\ expression\\\\A = 4000(1+0.023)^{14}\\\\A = 4000(1.023)^{14}\\\\A = 4000 \times 1.37486\\\\A = 5499.445$

Thus amount in account after 7 years is $ 5499.445
