Answer:

y= -2/5 x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:

m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)

If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:

m=(-4-0) / (0+10)

So, m= -2/5

The equation of the line would end up being:

y= -2/5 x -4

We know that we have to m<span>ake a down payment of $1500 and finance the rest of $20000 at a 1.9% interest rate, making equal monthly payments for 5 years. Our first step to solve this problem would be to convert 5 years into months.

1 year = 12 months

12 * 5 = 60 months

Therefore, in 5 years there are 60 months.

Now lets solve this problem step by step.

Subtract the down payment from $20,000

</span>$20000-$1500=$18500

Multiply the remaining number by the interest rate.

$18500 *1.9 = $35150

Divide 35150 by number of months in 5 years (60)

$35150 / 60 = $585

<span>Therefore, you have to pay $585 per month.</span>

Solve for x: 14-14x^1/3 =2

Answer: 216/343 or 0.6297

Step-by-step explanation:

$14-14x^{1/3} = 2\\14 -2 = 14x^{1/3}\\12 = 14x^{1/3}\\\frac{12}{14} =x^{1/3}\\\frac{6}{7} =x^{1/3}\\(\frac{6}{7})^3 =(x^{1/3})^3\\\frac{6^3}{7^3} =x\\\\\frac{216}{343} = 0.629737609 = x$
