Select all of the equations that have graphs with the same y-intercept (starting amount).

attashe74 [19]

Answer: y=3x-8, y=5x-8, and y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

These equations are all lines in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where b is the y-intercept). y=3x-8, y=5x-8, and y=2x-8 all have -8 as the b value. Therefore, these equations have the same y-intercept.

Scott took out a 4-year car loan for $5,500. He paid back a total of $7,370. What interest rate did he pay for this loan?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Amount of car loan taken by Scott = $5500
Amount of loan paid back by Scott = $7370
Then
Amount of money paid as interest by Scott = (7370 - 5500) dollars
   = 1870 dollars
Then
Percentage of interest given for the car loan = (1870/5500) * 100
   = 1870/55
   = 34 percent
So Scott had to pay a total interest rate of 34% in the four years.I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand and solve future problems.
