Write an equation of the line through each pair of points in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))

Simplify the parentheses.

= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)

Simplify the fraction.

(6) / (0)

= undefined

If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.

In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.

Therefore, your equation is x = -3.

b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)

First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Plug in these values:

(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (-7) / (-7)

Simplify the fraction.

-7/-7

= 1

This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.

y = 1x + b or y = x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

2 = 1(3) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)

2 = 3 + b

Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.

-1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = x - 1

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).

y = 1x - 1

-5 = 1(-4) - 1

-5 = -4 - 1

-5 = -5

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

How many years would it take to make $500 interest on a 12000 investment at 3% per year
padilas [110]

Answer:

t=1.4\ years

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=?\\ P=\$12,000\\ I=\$500\\r=3\%=3/100=0.03

substitute in the formula above

500=12,000(0.03t)

solve for t

500=360t

t=500/360

t=1.4\ years
