We can observe that the function describing the graph is linear and so the equation is of linear nature:

Numbers m and n have special names. m is called the slope, n is called y-intercept.
From the graph one can tell that the line intercepts y-axis at y = -1 that means n = -1. What about the slope you say?
The slope can be calculated using two points' coordinates that lie on the line:

Now our line has an equation,

Hope this helps.
Answer:
B. $715
Step-by-step explanation:
By multiplying your starting value, in this case $550, and your (simple) interest, 6%, or by 1.06 as 0.06 being your interest value and the 1.00 accommodating your starting value you will multiply, $550 × 1.06 = $583. Repeat these steps for however many years you are account for, in this case, five years. Giving you a total of $715
If you put 7% into a decimal it would be 0.07
You probably jsut need to use law of cosines in order to solve for angle A

or
If found the image that accompanies this problem, the central angle was 60°. Since the circumference of a circle is always 360°, the minor arc represents 60°/360° of the circle.
48 cm / (60°/360°) = 48 cm / (1/6) = 48 cm * 6/1 = 48 cm * 6 = 288 cm
The circumference of circle Z is 288 cm.
