I would try using a table. It might work better.
The points (1, 2) and (4, 2) both have the same y-value, so that is the horizontal line y = 2.
The given point has y-value of 3, so the line passing through it will be
... y = 3
_____
There is no x-term because the slope is 0. We could write it as
... y = 0x +3
but this simplifies to
... y = 3
Answer:
C(t) = $28,000(0.811)^t (Answer A)
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the car is decreasing. Thus, by the end of the first year of ownership, the car will have the value $28,000(1 -0.189)^1, where the "-0.189" represents DECAY instead of GROWTH.
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation.
Then the desired formula is C(t) = $28,000(0.811)^t (Answer A)
I used my calculator and got x=1 y=3
solve for y to put them in your calculator
2.1x+4.2y=14.7
y = (14.7 -2.1x)/4.2
−5.7x−1.9y=−11.4
y=(-11.4 +5.7x)/(-1.9)
then using the ploting tool I plotted them and found where they intersected
The decimal equivalent is -4.666....
In order to find this, we need to start by just taking the whole number for itself.
-4.
Now we have to handle the fraction version. In order to do that, we need to do the division and turn into a decimal.
2/3 = .666...
Now we simply put them together and get our answer.
-4.666...
