The answer if 7 years, if you multiply 2,000 by .02 it equals 40. so you divide 280 by 40 and get 7
The standard form:

The slope-intercept form:

m - slope

b - y-intercept (0, b).
We have the point (0, 43) → b= 43.
Next point (2, 55). Substitute to the slope formula:

Therefore we have:
<em>subtract 6x from both sides</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
Xj + Xk/2 = Xm
7 + Xk/2 = 1
to get rid of the bracket, multiply all two sides by the denominator.
2(7 + Xk/2) = 1(2)
7 + Xk = 2
Xk = 2 - 7
Xk = -5
Yj + Yk/2 = Ym
2 + Yk/2 = -2
to get rid of the bracket, multiply all two sides by the denominator.
2(2 + Yk/2) = -2(2)
2 + Yk = -4
Yk = -4 - 2
Yk = -6
Therefore the coordinates of point K is (-5,-6)
