Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividend policy (hypothesis) of firms as stated by Musa (2009) is a cultural phenomenon that changes continuously according to environment and time, hence it is necessary to continuously modify dividend behavioural models to capture those factors that are peculiar to a particular period and environment, as well as changes in tax.
Hope this helps
ASSUMING This is a straight line so we gotta the formula for a straight line which is y=mx+b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.
First, we know this line passes through (5,8) and (9,2) we can use these for finding the equations. When we know two points, we use this formula:
y-y=m(x-x)
The first y is 8 and the second one is 2
The first x is 5 and the second one is 9
Plug it in:
8-2=m(5-9)
6=m(-4)
6/-4=m <— simplify this
m= -3/2
*NOTE: another way to find m is by calculating it (y-y)/(x-x)
Now we know m, we have to find b.
All you gotta do is plug everything you know back into the equation y=mx+b
y=mx+b
y=-3/2x+b <— now plug in a point we know(x,y)
8=-3/2(5)+b
8=-15/2+b
8-(-15/2)=b
b=8+15/2
b=16/2+15/2
b=31/2 (now you can write be as a fraction or a decimal in your equation, depending on what your teacher told you to use)
*NOTE: it is best to use fractions instead of decimals as it is more accurate sometimes.
Now we know all the variables that need to be known, we just need to rewrite the formula of the equation so the teacher can see.
m=-3/2
b=31/2
We don’t need to plug in x or y since it could have different values (since a straight line has MANY co-ordinates)
SO OUR EQUATION IS=
y=(-3/2)x+31/2
Hope you understand this, feel free to ask me anything!
Answer: 2.5 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The length of Chase’s bike ride= 
The length of Maddie’s bike ride=
In improper fraction : Length of Chase’s bike ride=
Similarly , Length of Maddie’s bike ride= 
The number of times the length of Chase’s bike ride was Maddie’s bike ride= 
Hence, the length of Chase’s bike ride was 2.5 times Maddie’s bike ride.
