Answer:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the points

  • (-1, -2)
  • (3, 4)

Determining the slope between (-1, -2) and (3, 4)

\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(-1,\:-2\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(3,\:4\right)

m=\frac{4-\left(-2\right)}{3-\left(-1\right)}

m=\frac{3}{2}

Thus, the slope of the line is:

m = 3/2

substituting m = 3/2 and the point (3, 4) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

4=\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b

switch sides

\frac{3}{2}\left(3\right)+b=4

\frac{9}{2}+b=4

subtract 9/2 from both sides

\frac{9}{2}+b-\frac{9}{2}=4-\frac{9}{2}

b=-\frac{1}{2}

now substituting m = 3/2 and b = -1/2 in the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:+\:\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)

y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the line equation  is:

  • y=\:\frac{3}{2}x\:-\frac{1}{2}

Answer: \frac{6}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use this \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} to find the average rate of change

2. Average rate of change = \frac{f(8)-f(6)}{8-6}

3. f(8) = - 4 and f(6) = -10 (To find these you will need to look at the points on the graph. So the points (8,-4) and (6,-10))

4. Replace -4 to f(8) and -10 to f(6)

5. So it will look like\frac{-4-(-10)}{8-6}

6. Solve \frac{6}{2}

just olya [345]

Answer:

$30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the CD paid back 3% interest of the money you put in, all you have to find is what 3% of $1000 is.

3% = 0.03.

0.03 x 1000 is $30.

You earned $30 in interest.
