Answer:
The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a line passes through two points
and
, then the equation of line is

Let y be the profit (in millions) after x years.
From the given graph it is clear that the line passes through the point (1,-100).
The company paid for these costs and made combined profits of $80 million after 4 years. It means the graph passes through the point (4,80).
The line passes through (1,-100) and (4,80). So, the equation of line is




Subtract 100 from both sides.


The function form is

Therefore, the correct option is A.
Answer:
The slope of a line that includes the points (4, -2) and (5, 0) is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that the formula y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the point-slope form of the equation of a line where m is the slope of a line.
The line must include the points (4, -2) and (5, 0). So, being:
- (x,y)= (4,-2)
- (x1,y1)= (5, 0)
and replacing in the point-slope form of the equation of a line:
-2-0=m(4-5)
You solve the equation for m and get:
-2=m*(-1)

m=2

-1 1, -2 2, 3 -3. Is this what you wanted? If no tell me in comments and maybe a can help fix.
<span>The simple interest formula is:
A = P · (1 + r · t)
where:
A = total amount
P = principal
r = rate
t = time
Let's solve for r:
A = P + P · r · t
P · r · t = A - P
r = (A - P) / (P · t)
The quantity A - P is defined as the Interest, therefore:
r = I / (P <span>· t)
= 1020 / (8500 </span>· 4)
= 0.03
Therefore the rate was 3%.

Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
When n teams play each other once, the total number of games is n(n-1)/2. Since each team played every other one 3 times, the relationship between number of teams (n) and number of games is ...
3(n(n-1)/2) = 198
n(n-1) = 132 = 12·11 . . . . . . multiply by 2/3 and factor
n = 12 . . . . . . n = -11 is also an extraneous solution to this quadratic equation
