Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3=-2(x+5)

So we need to put this in slope-intercept form...

y - 3 = -2x -10 (You use the distributive property)

Then shift the -3 over to meet the other constant -10 by addition.

y - 3 = -2x -10

+3 + 3

y = -2x -7 since y = mx + b is in slope intercept form m = slope and b = y intercept, therefore the y intercept is -7

Answer: $‭3,927‬

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest will accrue as a simple interest rate for 10 years and then the grace period of six months.

The total time is therefore: 10.5 years.

Interest for those 10.5 years is:

= Loan amount * No. of periods * interest rate

= 5,500 * 10.5 * 6.8%
