Answer:

the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that since (0, -6) is the y-intercept, we can write the slope-intercept equation of the line as y = mx - 6. The other given point is (-2, 0) (which happens to be the x-intercept also). Starting with y = mx - 6, replace y with 0 and x with -2:

0 = m(-2) - 6. We now solve this for the slope, m: 0 = -2m - 6 becomes

2m = -6, or m = -3.

With m = -3 and b = -6, the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6

y-intercept -3

slope 1/2

is sufficient info with which to write an equation for a straight line:

y = mx + b becomes y = (1/2)x - 3.

You should check this by determining whether or not (2,-1) satisfies this equation.

The estimate of the amount of money Yousef will borrow by first rounding to the hundred is 4000

<h3>Estimate the amount of money Yousef will borrow by first rounding to the hundred</h3>

The amount borrowed are given as:

Last term = 1690

This term = 2345

When the amounts are rounded to the nearest hundred, the amounts borrowed become:

Last term = 1700

This term = 2300

The total amount is then calculated as:

Total amount = Last term + This term

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Total amount = 1700 + 2300

Evaluate the sum

Total amount = 4000

Hence, the estimate of the amount of money Yousef will borrow by first rounding to the hundred is 4000
