Answer is a
You need to find the y-intercept (aka b). You can do that by simply looking where the graph intercepts with the Y-axis.
b= 1 (positive 1 and not negative)
Now we need to find the slope by the following
Slope aka m: (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Note: sometimes people say it’s rise/run which is the same thing as the previous formula.
Pick two points that fall on the graph. I chose (0,1) and (3,-4). Even though there are no numbers you can assume each square is a unit and count the squares.
Slope = (-4-1)/(3-0) = - 5/3
Answer:
fraction negative 4 over 5 is to the left of −0.4 and to the left of 0
Step-by-step explanation:
-4/5
-0.4 = -4/10 = -2/5
Answer:
The principal is $2400
Step-by-step explanation:
Given




Required
The principal amount
The principal amount is the amount invested.
From the question, we understand that $24000 was invested.
Hence, the principal is $24000
We are told to use simple interest rate. Formula for this is:

Where:
A= total accumulated amount (principal + interest)
P= principal
r= yearly percentage rate
t= number of years
We need to save $19500 for the first year at a college. This is the amount we will have at the account after five years. In our case this is A.
Principal is the amount we need to put into savings to get the total amount needed. In our case this is P.
Yearly percentage rate is the percentage by which our savings increase at the end of a year. In our case this is r.
t is number of years that we are holding our money on the bank account.
To solve this problem we will assume that we are putting same amount each month on the bank account.
We are given:
A=$19500
P=?
r=1.5%
t=5 years
First step is to transform r into decimal number:

Now we get back to our formula and we solve it for P:

We insert numbers and we get our principal:

We need to put $18139.53 into savings to get required amount after 5 years or 5*12=60months. Assuming that we put same amount each month into savings we need to put

This is our solution for this problem. This is closest to the amount we would need to put in real life. In real life we would earn interest onto interest and our monthly amount would be smaller.
