Answer:
the correct answer is 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = amount invested at 8%
26000 - x = amount invested at 6%
0.08x + 0.06(26000 - x) = 1860
solving the equation you get x = 15000
and subtract that from 26000 you get 11000
8% investment = 15000
6% investment = 11000
we know the x-intercept of the line is 1, recall that an x-intercept is when the graph intercepts or touches the x-axis, and when that happens, y = 0, so the point is really x = 1, y = 0, namely (1,0). We also know another point on the line, is (-2, 9).

Answer:
5x -y = -37
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:
A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5
B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1
Then the constant C can be found using either point.
5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37
The equation of the line is ...
5x -y = -37

<em>Additional comment</em>
This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.
