$(\stackrel{x_1}{20}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{10}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{(-7)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{10}-\underset{x_1}{20}}}\implies \cfrac{-2+7}{-10}\implies -\cfrac{1}{2}$

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-7)}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{20}) \\\\\\ y+7=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+10\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$

Select all of the following that are quadratic equations.

kifflom [539]

A quadratic equation is one in which the highest exponent of x is 2.
$7x^2+14x=0$ is quadratic; the highest exponent is 2.
x³-3x²+1=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 3, not 2.
5x-7=0 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²+3x-5=0 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.
x-5=9x+7 is NOT quadratic. The highest exponent of x is 1, not 2.
x²-x=3x+7 is quadratic; the highest exponent of x is 2.

The graph of a function is shown below. Which ordered pair best represents the location of the y intercept

Wittaler [7]

When a question is asking you for the y-intercept based on a graph, all you have to do is look to see at what point does the function cross/intersect the y-axis. The x-value will always be zero in a y-intercept. By looking at the graph you see that the function crosses the y-axis at the point (0, -1), which is your answer.

Answer: (0, -1)

if 500 is deposited into an account earning 6 percent simple interest what is the future value in 6 years how do you work it put

djverab [1.8K]

$\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount}\\\\
A=P(1+rt)\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to& \$500\\
r=rate\to 6\%\to \frac{6}{100}\to &0.06\\
t=years\to &6
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=500(1+0.06\cdot 6)$
