Answer:y=-2x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (4,-2) and has a slope of -2.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was -2. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=-2x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(4,-2). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be -2.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the -2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (4,-2).

So, why not plug in for x the number 4 and for y the number -2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(4,-2). y=mx+b or -2=-2 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=-2-(-2)(4). b=6.

A scatter plot is made to model the amount of money left to pay on a credit card. The data used for the scatter plot are shown i
NISA [10]

The y-intercept of the given table is 2000.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Write the table in the ascending order.

From the table, calculate the rise and run to find the slope of the line.

rise=y_2-y_1.\\run =x_2-x_1.

Choose points (0,2000) and (1,1800).

rise= -200 and run=1.

Slope m = -200.

The line equation is y=mx+c.

Apply the slop value in the equation,

y= -200x+c.

To find the y-intercept substitute a value in the above equation.

Substitute(1,1800),

1800 = -200(1)+c.

2000=c.

y= -200x+2000.

The y-intercept is the point where the line passes through in the vertical y-axis at the origin.

Consider a home mortgage of ​$250,000 at a fixed APR of ​4.5% for 30 years. a. Calculate the monthly payment. b. Determine the t
lianna [129]

Answer:

  a. payment: $1266.71

  b. total paid: $456, 015.60

  c. fraction to principal: 54.8%; fraction to interest: 45.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a.</h3>

The amortization formula tells you the monthly payment is ...

  A = P(r/12)/(1 -(1 +r/12)^(-12t))

Payment on principal P at annual rate r for t years.

  A = $250,000(0.045/12)/(1 -(1 +0.045/12)^(-12·30)) ≈ $1266.71

The monthly payment is $1266.71.

__

<h3>b.</h3>

360 monthly payments of $1266.71 will have a total value of ...

  360 × $1266.71 = $456,015.60 . . . . total amount paid

__

<h3>c.</h3>

Of course, $250,000 is paid on the principal. That percentage is ...

  $250,000/$456,015.60 × 100% ≈ 54.8% . . . to principal

The remaining fraction is paid for interest:

  100% -54.8% = 45.2% . . . to interest

What is 68 less than 5 times a number is equal to the number?
uysha [10]

The number here is will be represented as under -

Let the number be x.

Thus, the 5 times the number will be = 5x.

Now, it says, the number is 68 less than 5 times a number.

The equation so formed will be -

5x - 68 = x

4x = 68

x = 68.

Thus, the number will be 17.

Let us re-check the number,

(5 × 17) - 68 = 17

85 - 68 = 17

<em><u>17 = 17. Thus, the number will be 17.</u></em>
