Answer: -20

Step 1: Write an equation

To start off, we will need to write an equation. To do so, we will use the equation for slope, using rise/run. M represents the slope.

M= rise/ run

Step 2: Substitute information

Now that we know the equation, we can substitute information given to us in the question. Let’s start by replacing m with -5, as we are told that this is the slope.

M= rise/ run
-5= rise/ run

Great! Now let’s change the run. The run is said to be 4, so we will put this on the bottom of the fraction, under the rise.

-5= rise/ run
-5= rise/4

Step 3: Solve

Now that we have our final equation, we can solve for the rise. We can do so by getting rise alone on the right side, by undoing the division. Let’s multiply each term by 4, isolating rise in the process.

-5= rise/4
-5 (4)= rise/4 (4)
-20= rise

Step 4: Check your answer

For our rise, we got -20 as an answer. Let’s check if this is correct by getting the original equation, and substituting all of our information.

M= rise/ run
-5= -20/4
-5= -5

This is correct! The rise is -5. Hope this helps! Comment below for more questions.

Q7 Q26.) Find the quotient of the complex numbers and leave your answer in polar form.

irina [24]

To divide complex numbers in polar form, divide the r parts and subtract the angle parts. Or

r2(cosθ2 + i sinθ2) / r1(cosθ1 + i sinθ1) = r2/r1(cos(θ2−θ1) + i sin(θ2−θ1))

z1/z2

= 3/7 (cos(π/8-π/9) + i sin(π/8 - π/9))

= 3/7 (cos(π/72) + i sin(π/72))

Write the standard form of the line that contains a y-intercept of -3 and passes through the point (3, 0). Include your work in

mina [271]

We have two points, (3,0) and (0,-3). So we can find the slope of the line:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-3-0)/(0-3)

m=-3/-3

m=1 so far for the line y=mx+b we have:

y=x+b, b is the y intercept which we were told is -3 so

y=x-3

The above is called the slope-intercept form of a line, y=mx+b, the standard form of a line is ax+by=c, so we need to get both variables on one side of the equation..

y=x-3 subtract x from both sides

-x+y=-3

While the above may be acceptable to some, technically the coefficient of x should be expressed as a positive value, so we should divide the above "solution" by -1 to get:

x-y=3

You have $55,000 in savings account that pays 2% intrest per year. The inflation rate that year is 3.24%. How much do you make i

Sever21 [200]

Your interest formula is given to you.

Interest in a year = principal (the amount invested) * rate (the interest rate) * period (the time you're measuring)

Interest = 55,000 * 2% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.02 * 1 = $1,100

How much would you need to have made for your spending power to keep with inflation? Your interest rate would have needed to match the inflation rate, otherwise prices are going up faster than you're saving.

Required interest = 55,000 * 3.24% * 1 year = 55,000 * 0.0324 * 1 = $1,782

How much buying power did you lose? The difference between your required interest and your actual interest.
Buying power lost = 1,782 - 1,100 = $682. You lost this much in buying power.

Hope that helped :)
