Answer:

Please find a visual representation of the scenario generated with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data on how Kylo fills up the bathtub with water are;

The time it takes to fill the bathtub with 50 gallons of water = 15 minutes

The time it takes to drain 30 gallons from the bathtub = 5 minutes

The time it takes to add 5 gallons of hot water = 2 minutes

The time it takes for all the water to drain out = 4 minutes

The given scenario can be represented visually on the coordinate plane, as follows;

The y-axis represents the amount of water in the bathtub in gallons

The x-axis represents the time from the when Kylo begins to fill the bathtub

The coordinates of points in the visual representation of the given scenario are therefore;

At the start, the bathtub is empty;

y = 0, x = 0

Then we have;

$\begin{array}{ccc}The \ Number \ of \ Gallons, \, y &Time &Cumulative \ Time, \, x\\0&0&0\\50&15&15\\20&5&20\\25&2&22\\0&4&26\end{array}$

Plotting the number of gallons and the cumulative time values on MS Excel gives a visual representation of the scenario

write the slope- intercept form of the equation of the line parallel to - x+5y=25, passing through the point (-5,-5). simplify

Olenka [21]

To find the equation of a line that is parallel to your original equation and goes through a certain point on a graph, here's what you need to know:
First you need to find the slope of your original equation.
To do that, you need to convert it to slope intercept form (y = mx+b).
Add the x over, and then divide everything by 5 to get the y by itself.
Here's what that would look like (without the small steps that I mentioned):
-x + 5y = 25
5y = x + 25
y = 1/5x + 5

That's the original equation rewritten in slope intercept form.
The m represents the slope, so this equation's slope is 1/5.

Because you are given a point, and now you have a slope, the best and easiest route is using point slope form.
I've seen different versions of the equation base but I prefer y - y(sub1) = m(x - x(sub1))
But since I can't use subscripts in this, I'll use the one with h and k. The h is the x value of the point, and the k is the y value.
(h,k)
Then just substitute the values in and solve for y.
y - k = m(x - h)
y + 5 = 1/5(x + 5)
y + 5 = 1/5x + 1
y = 1/5x - 4

Your final answer is
y = 1/5x - 4
You can double check by using a graph. If the slopes are the same, the lines should be parallel.

I hope that helps. If anything didn't make sense, feel free to ask me.

Two accounts earn simple interest. The balance y (in dollars) of Account A after x years can be modeled by y=10x 500. Account B

12345 [234]

In an installment loan, a lender loans a borrower a principal amount P, on which the borrower will pay a yearly interest rate of i (as a fraction, e.g. a rate of 6% would correspond to i=0.06) for n years. The borrower pays a fixed amount M to the lender q times per year. At the end of the n years, the last payment by the borrower pays off the loan.

After k payments, the amount A still owed is

A = P(1+[i/q])k - Mq([1+(i/q)]k-1)/i, = (P-Mq/i)(1+[i/q])k + Mq/i. The amount of the fixed payment is determined byM = Pi/[q(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)]. The amount of principal that can be paid off in n years isP = M(1-[1+(i/q)]-nq)q/i. The number of years needed to pay off the loan isn = -log(1-[Pi/(Mq)])/(q log[1+(i/q)]). The total amount paid by the borrower is Mnq, and the total amount of interest paid isI = Mnq - P.
