Answer:

y = 1/3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of one another

so slope is 1/3

then y = 1/3x + b

Using (3,-1) => -1 = 1/3(3) + b

-1 = 1 + b

b = -2

so y = 1/3x -2

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

30 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Farther = f, Son = s

f + s = 36
f + s + 2(f-s) = 84 ⇒ 3f - s = 84

<u>Add up equations:</u>

4f = 36 +84
4f = 120
f = 120/4
f = 30

s = 36 - 30 = 6

on a deposit of $4,000 that earns 8% compound interest compounded annually how much will you have after 2 years

NikAS [45]

$\bf ~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$4000\\ r=rate\to 8\%\to \frac{8}{100}\dotfill &0.08\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{annually, thus once} \end{array}\dotfill &1\\ t=years\dotfill &2 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=4000\left(1+\frac{0.08}{1}\right)^{1\cdot 2}\implies A=4000(1.08)^2\implies A=4665.6$
