Hi there!

We are given two ordered pairs which are:

(0,0)
(5,4)

If you are curious how do I get these ordered pairs, they come from those two big circles or dots. x and y make relation and can be written as (x,y).

1. Find the slope

Yes, our first step is to find the slope of a graph if you want to find an equation. You may be curious how to find that right? No worries! We have got a special formula for you to find the slope!

$\large \boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} }$

Since we have two given points, we can substitute them in the formula.

$\large{m = \frac{4 - 0}{5 - 0} } \\ \large \boxed{m = \frac{4}{5} }$

2. Form an equation.

Since we have finally found, got or evaluated the slope. Next step is to find the y-intercept. Oh! Before we get to form an equation, do you know the slope-intercept form? We will be using that linear equation form since it is commonly used in the topic.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

Where m = slope and b = y-intercept. We substitute m = 4/5.

$\large{y = \frac{4}{5} x + b}$

Next thing to remember is that when the graph intersects an origin point, b-term or y-intercept would be 0. Therefore b = 0 since the graph intersects (0,0).

$\large \boxed{y = \frac{4}{5} x}$

3. Answer

Therefore the equation of the line is y = 4x/5.

Answer:

$ 746.16

Step-by-step explanation:

MONTHLY interest = .0335/4

4 years = 48 months

500 ( 1 + .0335/4)^48 = 746.16

The prices of consumer goods do not always exactly follow the CPI. The following chart shows several consumer items, along with

zloy xaker [14]

The reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.

<h3>Customer price index</h3>

Customer price index is the price index which measures the weight average of price of basket of customers goods or services.

It can be given as,

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100$

Here $\rm C_t$ is the cost of market basket in current period and $\rm C_0$ is the cost of market basket in the base period.

Cost of market basket in current period is

$\rm C_t=15.66+119.75+23.99+37.50\\\\C_t=196.9$

Cost of market basket in 1983 is,

$\rm C_0=8.85+71.25+13.95+22.7\\\\C_0=116.8$

Substitute all the values in the formula

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{196.9}{116.8}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=1.685\times 100 \\\\ CPI_t=168.5\\\\\rm CPI_t= 170 \ \rm approx$
