What is the slope of the line through (-9, 6) (-3, 9)
2 answers:
To find the slope, you can use the equation y2-y1 divided by x2 - x1. When you plug in the numbers from the problem, the equation becomes 9-6/-3-(-9). We know that subtracting by a negative is the same as adding a positive, so the equation becomes 9-6/-3+9. When you solve this, it becomes 3/6, which can be simplified to become 1/2. I have attached an image to hopefully make this easier for you to understand because I know it’s a bit confusing written out in words (I’m sorry if the image is bad, I drew it on my phone). If there is anything that you need me to clarify, please let me know and I will be happy to help!

Answer:
The cost in 2015 will be $283.45.
What is the reference point (t=0)?
d. The year 2005.
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential growth model for the cost is the following:
In which C(t) is the cost after t years, is the initial cost and r is the decimal inflation rate
In this problem, we have that:
What will it cost in 2015 assuming the rate of inflation remains constant?
2015 is 10 years after 2005, so this is C(10).
The cost in 2015 will be $283.45.
The reference point is the year in which t = 0, so the year 2005.
