Answer:

y = -3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-line equation : y = mx + b

slope is -3/2

Let's find the y-intercept using (6, -7)

y = mx + b

-7 = -3/2(6) + b

-7 = -18/2 + b

-7 = -9 + b

+9 +9

-----------------------

2 = b

So, y = -3/2x + 2 is your equation.

You deposit $2000 into an account that pays 6% compounded monthly. a. How much money will you have in the account after 1 year?

Masteriza [31]

We have a deposit of $2000 into an account that pays 6% compounded monthly, after a year we will have:

$\begin{gathered} \text{account}_{\text{year}}=2000\cdot(1+\frac{6}{100})^{12} \\ \text{account}_{\text{year}}=4024.4 \end{gathered}$

The effective annual yield (EAY) will be:

$\text{EAY}=\frac{account_{year}}{2000}-1=\frac{4024.14}{2000}-1=1.0122$

The EAY is 101.22%

balandron [24]

Given:

Alan salary P (in dollars) when he works h hours is represented by the equation

$P=12.50h$

To find:

The earning per hour.

Solution:

We have,

$P=12.50h$

Here, P is total salary and h is number of hours he works.

$\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{\text{Total salary}}{\text{Number of hours}}$

$\text{Earning per hour}= \dfrac{12.50h}{h}$

$\text{Earning per hour}=12.50$

Therefore, the earning per hour is $12.50.
