Find the slope of the line that goes through the given points (8,5) (6,7)

vazorg [7]

To find the slope of a line that goes through given points with known coordinates, you divide the subtraction of the y of the second point minus the y of the first point, by the subtraction of the x of the second point minus the x of the first point:
m = (yB-yA) / (xB-xA)

Let A(8,5) and B(6,7).
With yB = 7; yA = 5; xB = 6; xA = 8
m = (7-5) / (6-8)
m = 2/-2
m = -1

So the slope of the line that goes through the given points (8,5) and (6,7) is m = -1.

I've added a pic of the line with both points under the answer.

Hope this Helps! :)

Mr. Charles gave both of his sons, Joe and Bill, $5,000. Joe deposited the money in an account that offered simple interest of 1

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Bill by $85

Step-by-step explanation:

Bill : Compound interest is calculated by multiplying the initial principal amount by one plus the annual interest rate raised to the number of compound periods minus one. The total initial amount of the money given is then subtracted from the resulting value.

Compounded annually for 6 years at 9 % interest Bill would have $8385.50.

Joe : Simple interest at 11% a year The formula we'll use for this is the simple interest formula.

P is the principal amount, $5000.00.

r is the interest rate, 11% per year, or in decimal form, 11/100=0.11.

t is the time involved, 6year(s) time periods.

So, t is 6year time periods.

To find the simple interest, we multiply 5000 × 11 × 6 = 3300

Usually now, the interest is added onto the principal to figure some new amount after 6 year(s),

or 5000.00 + 3300.00 = 8300.00

As you can see Bill has more by $85.

A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 feet as fast uphill as it can go on level ground. If it goes 12

Yuri [45]

Answer:

0.5hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed downhill be $x$ ,

Speed uphill is $0.5x$ . We are told than speed uphill is $\frac{2}{3}$ the speed on flat ground. Therefore the speed on level ground will be $\frac{0.5x}{2/3}=0.75x$ .
