The y values decrease as the x values increase. If you picture the points in your head, you’ll see that (2,2) is to the right and lower than (-3,5), creating a negative slope.
Answer:
$176.3193692 or $176.32 (rounded to two decimal places)
Step-by-step explanation:
It is a compound interest, which means the interest accumulates on an initial amount each period.
The formula is A=P(1+R)^n
A= the total amount P=initial amount R=rate n=time (years)
P=$120 Rate= 8% or 0.08 (decimal) n=5 (years)
A=120 (1+0.08)^2
A=120 (1.469328077)
A= 176.3193692
Answer:
(-4,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to find a common multiple to use to add and find the system of equations. We need to eliminate one of the variables in order to solve.
Since 5 * 3 = 15, and 3 * -5 = 15, -15x and 15x will cancel each other out. Therefore x will be eliminated.
Before:
5x + 2y = -16
3x + 7y = 2
After:
15x + 6y = -48 <----------Now we solve for y
-15x + -35y = -10
+----------------------
-29y = -58
-29 -29
y = 2
Now what we do is we choose and equation and solve for x, since it is still unknown. Any equation is fine but I will choose the second one since it has easy numbers.
3x + 7y = 2
3x + 7(2) = 2
3x + 14 = 2
-14 -14
----------------------
3x = -12
3 3
x = -4
Therefore our final answer is (-4,2)
