60 do the inverse by multiplying the numbers you have
(x + 5)(y + 10)
x(y + 10) + 5(y + 10)
x(y) + x(10) + 5(y) + 5(10)
xy + 10x + 5y + 50
Y=mx+b where m=-6, x=-2, and y=-3. Substituting these values in would result in -3=(-6)(-2)+b, which would simplify to -3=12+b, and further to b=-15. This would mean the y intercept is equal to -15, or (0,-15). To check, (-6)*(-2)-15 is in fact equal to -3, thus allowing easy identification of a graph, which will cross the y axis at -15 and decrease in y-value by 6 with every increase in x-value.
For this case we have an equation of the form:
y = A * (b) ^ t
Where,
A: initial amount
b: growth rate
t: time
The given equation is:
a = 1300 (1.02) ^ 7
Where,
b = 1.02
It represents a growth of 2% on the initial amount.
Answer:
1.02 represented in this equation a growth of 2% on the initial amount.
