In 1999, the share price for General Motors stock was $144 per share but has been declining at an average rate of 14% per year.

The equation P = 144(0.86)x will give the value of the stock after any number of years. What is the current share price for GM stock?

Answer:  $5.22  (in the year 2021)

========================================================

Explanation:

The year 2021 is 22 years after 1999 since

2021 - 1999 = 22

That means we'll plug x = 22 into the equation given to us

P = 144*(0.86)^x

P = 144*(0.86)^22

P = 5.21588994768589 which is approximate

P = 5.22 rounding to the nearest cent

The share price is about $5.22 in the year 2021.

This assumes that the 14% decline keeps happening year after year; however, in reality, stocks are more complicated and fluctuate more randomly if anything.

A line passes through the point (-3, -3) and has a slope of 1/2. What is the equation of the line?
harina [27]
To solve this, we need to understand Slope Intercept Form (SIF), as well as how to graph a line.

SIF is the standard equation of lines on graphs. It is "y=mx+b" where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.

To find the y-intercept (which we will need to form the equation), we should simply graph the line. This will let us visualize the y-intercept, and overall make it easier to understand.

To graph a line, we should start with the point we have (that being (3, 3)) and follow the slope with rise/run. This means in this case, we will go right 2 for every 1 up, or 2 left for every 1 down.

Below I have attached a graph to help you see how to graph this, which we will get our equation from. The highlighted area is our y-intercept. The red circle shows our original point (3,3), and the blue dots show our slope.

Using the graph, we can see the equation for this line is y=1/2x+1.5.
