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:

<u>Use the slope formula:</u>

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>We have two points:</u>

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

<u>Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:</u>

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

A bank account earns 2.5% interest per year. If the account starts with $500, approximately how many years will it take for the
belka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have an amount in the future of 750, we are going to use Future value formula; FV = PV (1+r)^t

where PV= Initial amount deposited

r= interest rate or discount rate

t = total duration of the investment

FV= 750

PV=500

r = 2.5% or 0.025 as a decimal

t = ?

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula;

750 = 500* (1+0.025)^t

divide both sides by 500;

750/500 = 1.025^t

Introduce <em>ln</em> on both sides

ln 1.5 = ln 1.025^{t}

ln 1.5 = t ln 1.025

0.4054651 = 0.0246926 t

Divide both sides by 0.0246926 to solve for t;

0.4054651/0.0246926 = t

t = 16.42

Therefore it will take 16.42 years

Solve the system <br> 2x+y=-3 <br> -2y=6+4x
ANEK [815]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Write out the 2 equations:

2x + y = -3

-2y = 6+4x

-You then pick a variable that you want to solve for. I chose to solve for y because it would be a bit easier.

-2y = 6 + 4x

-Divide both sides by -2 to isolate the variable

(-2y) / -2 = (6 + 4x) / -2

-it comes out to y = -3 -2x

-Now that you have the y you can plug in the value into the second equation.

2x + y = -3   --->   2x + (-3 -2x) = -3

This can be simplified to:

2x - 3 - 2x = -3

The 2x's cancel out because there is a +2x and a -2x. You are left with a

-3 = -3. If you add 3 to both sides of the equation you end up with 0 = 0, which can be simplified to just 0.

Find the x- and y- intercepts if the line that passes through the given points (-6,-6),(4,-2).
Paul [167]

Answer:

The x-intercept would be 9 and the y-intercept would be -18/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this we need to first find the slope. To do that we use the two points and the slope equation.

m (slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2 - -6)/(4 - -6)

m = 4/10

m = 2/5

Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point to find the equation of the line in standard form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 6 = 2/5(x + 6)

y + 6 = 2/5x + 12/5

-2/5x + y + 6 = 12/5

-2/5x + y = -18/5

-2x + 5y = -18

Now that we have this, we can find the intercepts through using 0s. First, we put a zero in for y to find the x intercept.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2x + 5(0) = -18

-2x = -18

x = 9

Therefore the x intercept is 9.

We find the y-intercept by doing the opposite. We put a 0 in for x.

-2x + 5y = -18

-2(0) + 5y = -18

5y = -18

y = -18/5
