m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

Emma has money into savings accounts. One rate is 8% and the other is 12%. If she has $450 more in the 12% account and the total
AveGali [126]

Let's say that the value invested in the account with a rate of 8% is "x", then the amount invested in the account with a rate of 12% is:

x+450

To calculate the total interest we need to calculate the interest of each individual account and sum them:

\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{100}\cdot x=0.08\cdot x \\ \frac{12}{100}\cdot(x+450)=0.12\cdot x+54 \end{gathered}

The total interest is the sum of the two expressions above:

\begin{gathered} 220=(0.08\cdot x)+(0.12\cdot x+54) \\ 220=0.08\cdot x+0.12\cdot x+54 \\ 220-54=0.2\cdot x \\ 166=0.2\cdot x \\ 0.2\cdot x=166 \\ x=\frac{166}{0.2} \\ x=830 \end{gathered}

The value invested in the account with 8% interest is 830, the one invested in the account with 12% interest is 1280.
