Answer:

B. 11/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Plug in the points:

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(-4 - 7) / (-5 - 2)

-11 / -7

= 11/7

An executive invests $26,000, some at 8% and some at 6% annual interest. If he receives an annual return of $1,860, how much is

S_A_V [24]

Let x = amount invested at 8%
26000 - x = amount invested at 6%

0.08x + 0.06(26000 - x) = 1860

solving the equation you get x = 15000
and subtract that from 26000 you get 11000
8% investment = 15000
6% investment = 11000
