Answer:

Slope is 5/17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the y's and put on top of a fraction. Subtract the x's and put on the bottom of the fraction. Simplify. Be sure to start with the x and y that go together in front of the minus sign and end with the other x and y behind the minus sign.

7 - 2 put 5 on top.

11 - -6 is 17 (because 11 - -6 is the same as 11+6)

So you get 5/17 and it cannot be simplified so it is your answer.

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We have two points:

(x₁, y₁) = (11, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 6, 2)

Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:

m = (2 - 7)/(-6 - 11) = - 5 / - 17 = 5/17

Account (A) is a saving account , the interest earned after 1 year is $12 .If the interest rate is 3.2% for account (A). How muc

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The principal for the account is $375.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

$E = P*I*t$

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

The interest earned after 1 year is $12 .If the interest rate is 3.2% for account (A).

This means, respectively, that $t = 1, E = 12, I = 0.032$
