Answer: 
Remember: RISE/RUN (y/x). Lines that are increasing have a positive slope, and lines that are decreasing have a negative slope.
You can find the slope in two ways:
1. Useful if the line is graphed: count the units between 2 points on the line.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- (-1, 4) is 8 units higher than (4, -4) and 5 units to the left of (4, -4).
- Because the line is decreasing, the slope is negative.
- Therefore, the slope is .
2. Useful if the line is not graphed: find the difference between the y-coordinate values divided by the difference of the x-coordinate values.
- Let's use the points (-1, 4) and (4, -4).
- Therefore, the slope is .
the equation of a line in point-slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂) = (1 1/2, 2 )
m = 
= 
= 
using (a, b) = (- 4, - 1), then
y + 1 = (x + 4)
Answer:
n = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
n^2 + 5n + 1 = 3n
N^2 +2n +1 = 0 (subtract 3n from both sides)
(n+1)(n+1) = 0 (factor
n+1 =0; n= -1
n+1 = 0 ; n=-1
Answer:
$7
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there
to solve this kind of problem we use the formula:
<h3>
</h3><h3>if we solve it :</h3>
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 5%/100 = 0.05 per year,
then, solving our equation
I = 70 × 0.05 × 2 = 7
I = $ 7.00
The simple interest accumulated
on a principal of $ 70.00
at a rate of 5% per year
for 2 years is $ 7.00.
