Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for y gives ...

20y = 2x +6

y = 2/20x +6/20 = 1/10x +3/10

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x: 1/10. The slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/(1/10) = -10.

The perpendicular line has a slope of -10.

The balance B at the end of time t is given by
B = P +Prt
8250 = 6000 +6000*r*12.5 . . . . substitute the given information
2250 = 6000*r*12.5 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 6000
2250/(6000*12.5) = r . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of r
r = .03 = 3%

Clint earned 3% annual simple interest on his savings.
