Answer:

y = - 10x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here slope m = - 10, hence

y = - 10x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 10 = - 6

y = - 10x - 6 ← equation of line

and again, let's say the principal invested in each is $X.

$\bf a-b=3\qquad \implies \qquad \boxed{b}=3+a~\hfill \begin{cases} \left( \frac{a}{100} \right)X=240\\\\ \left( \frac{b}{100} \right)X=360 \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)X=240\implies X=\cfrac{240}{~~\frac{a}{100}~~}\implies X=\cfrac{24000}{a} \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{b}{100} \right)X=360\implies X=\cfrac{360}{~~\frac{b}{100}~~}\implies X=\cfrac{36000}{b} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\$

$\bf X=X\qquad thus\qquad \implies \cfrac{24000}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{b}\implies \cfrac{24000}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{\boxed{3+a}} \\\\\\ (3+a)24000=36000a\implies \cfrac{3+a}{a}=\cfrac{36000}{24000}\implies \cfrac{3-a}{a}=\cfrac{3}{2} \\\\\\ 6-2a=3a\implies 6=5a\implies \cfrac{6}{5}=a\implies 1\frac{1}{5}=a\implies \blacktriangleright 1.2 = x\blacktriangleleft$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=3+a}\implies b=3+\cfrac{6}{5}\implies b=\cfrac{21}{5}\implies b=4\frac{1}{5}\implies \blacktriangleright b=4.2 \blacktriangleleft$

Samuel deposits $1,800 in an account that earns 12% simple annual interest. How many months will it take for Samuel's account ba

Artemon [7]

In order to use the simple interest formula, we first define the variables. The interest would be equal to Samuel's desired amount $ 2,488 minus the principal amount of $ 1,800 which is then equal to $ 688. The rate must be in decimal form which is equal to 0.12 while t is expressed in years. Substituting the values, t is equal to 3. Thus, it will take 36 <span>months for Samuel's account balance to reach $2,448. </span>

Ramon was studying pond life in Doyle Park. In two hours, he counted four more frogs than turtles. The number of crayfish he cou

deff fn [24]

Let us assume the number of turtles = x
Then
Number of frogs = x + 4
Number of crayfish = 2x + 3
Total number of turtles and crayfish = 54
Then we can write the equation as
x + 2x + 3 = 54
3x + 3 = 54
3x = 54 - 3
3x = 51
x = 51/3
   = 17
Then
The number of frogs = x + 4
      = 17 + 4
      = 21
So there are 21 frogs in the pond that has been counted by Ramon.
