Step-by-step explanation:

first step is to find the gradient of the line which "m" on the equation

gradient formula is y2 - y1 ÷ x2 - x1 = -½ as shown on the picture we substituted those points given

2nd step is to substitute on the equation y=mx+c

m= -½

y= 3 (you can choose any from those given points but in my case I chose point A)

x= -2

c= ? only unknown variable so we can can calculate it

substitute as shown on the picture to get c= 2

therefore our equation of the line will be y= -½x+2

Clark borrow $16,000 to buy a car. He pays simple interest at an annual rate of 6% over a period of 3.5 years. How much does he

Paha777 [63]

The equation for annual interest is A = P(1 + r)^t. We can plug in the known information and get A = 16,000(1 + (0.06))^3.5. Next, we can simplify this equation to A = 16,000(1.06)^3.5. Finally, we raise 1.06 to the power of 3.5 and multiply that by 16,000 and get an answer of $19,619.62.

Hope this helps!

Hi there!

Let's prove segment AB is perpendicular to CD. Attention to the fact that a two column proof has to be concise. So all the comments can't be exhaustive, but as short as possible.
