Answer:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Plug in the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

We're given that the slope is \displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}. In y=mx+b, replace <em>m</em> with \displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b

We're given the point (-9,4). Plug this point into the equation as (x,y) and solve for <em>b</em>:

4=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}(-9)+b\\\\4=\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}+b

Subtract \displaystyle\frac{9}{2} from both sides to isolate <em>b</em>:

4-\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}=\displaystyle\frac{9}{2}+b- \displaystyle\frac{9}{2}\\\\\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2} = b

Therefore, the y-intercept is \displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}. Plug this back into y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+b as <em>b</em>:

y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x+(\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2})\\\\y=\displaystyle-\frac{1}{2}x-\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}

I hope this helps!

Jerry says I've got my money in a great account that compounds interest monthly. The equation y=388 (1.008) represents how much
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a)His monthly Interest Rate=0.8%

(b)Annual Interest Rate = 9.6%

(c)500(1.008)^m

Step-by-step explanation:

For a Principal P invested at a yearly rate r, compounded m times in t years

Amount at Compound Interest= P(1+\frac{r}{m})^{mt}

Comparing with Jerry's equation y=388 (1.008)

(a)His monthly Interest Rate= 0.008=0.8%

(b)Annual Interest Rate= Monthly Interest Rate X 12 =0.8 X 12 = 9.6%

(c)If I invest $500 at the same rate of return,

Total Money after m months

= P(1+\frac{r}{m})^{mt}=500(1+0.008)^{m}=500(1.008)^m

The ratio of red poms to yellow poms on a float is 5 to 7. if there are 392 yellow poms on the float, how many red poms are ther
Marysya12 [62]
Ratio is written in x:y. therefore for this case, red:yellow
5 : 7

since the question states that there are 392 yellow poms, the 7 units represents 392 yellow poms. now you have to gind what is one unit and then multiply by 5 to find the number of red poms.

392 represents 7 units
1 unit: 392/7=56
5 units: 5×56=280 red poms

therefore the answer is 280 red poms which is C.
