Answer:

r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the slope formula to solve for r.

1. Write out the equation using slope formula

(-7 - 1)/(r + 4) = -1

2. Multiply both sides by r + 4

-8 = -r - 4

3. Add 4 on both sides. Optionally, use the reflexive property of equality.

-r = -4

4. Multiply both sides by -1

r = 4

Answer:

r = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the point-slope form of the equation for a line, the line with slope -1 through point (-4, 1) is ...

y -1 = -1(x +4)

Substituting the second point, we have an equation for r:

-7 -1 = -1(r +4)

8 = r +4 . . . . . . . divide by -1

r = 4 . . . . . . . . subtract 4

The missing coordinate is 4. The second point is (4, -7).

You want to walk from home to a clothing store that is 3/4 miles away. You stop for a rest after 1/2 miles. How much farther do

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

1/4 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I want to walk from my house to a clothing store 3/4 of a mile away, this implies that the location is 0.75 miles from my home.

Now, if after walking 1/2 mile I decide to stop, I will have traveled 0.5 miles in total. In this way, when I get back on my way, I will have to travel 0.25 miles to reach my destination (0.75 - 0.50).

Therefore, since 1 divided by 4 equals 0.25, I have to walk 1/4 mile to reach my destination.

Natalie has $5000 and decides to put her money in the bank in an account that has a 10% interest rate that is compounded continu

kakasveta [241]

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalie has $5000

She decides to put her money in the bank in an account that has a 10% interest rate that is compounded continuously.

Part a) What type of exponential model is Natalie’s situation?

Answer:

As Natalie's situation implies

continuous compounding. So, instead of computing interest on a finite number of time periods, for instance monthly or yearly, continuous compounding computes interest assuming constant compounding over an infinite number of periods.

So, it requires the more generalized version of the principal calculation formula such as:

$P\left(t\right)=P_0\times \left[1+\left(i\:/\:n\right)\right]^{\left(n\:\times \:\:t\right)}$
