Concept explainers
a)
The x−intercept of the line in the graph.
To calculate the x−intercept and y−intercept from the graph:
To find the x−intercept of a given line on a graph, the point where the line is intersecting the x−axis is the x−intercept and the point where the line is intersecting the y axis is the y−intercept.
To calculate the line's slope:
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.
Determine rise: the difference in y−coordinates of these two points.
Determine run: the difference in x−coordinates for these two points.
Divide the difference in y−coordinates by the difference in x−coordinates (rise/run or slope).
Given:
Line passing through the origin.
(b)
The y−intercept of the line in the graph.
To calculate the x−intercept and y−intercept from the graph:
To find the x−intercept of a given line on a graph, the point where the line is intersecting the x−axis is the x−intercept and the point where the line is intersecting the y axis is the y−intercept.
To calculate the line's slope:
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates.
Determine rise: the difference in y−coordinates of these two points.
Determine run: the difference in x−coordinates for these two points.
Divide the difference in y−coordinates by the difference in x−coordinates (rise/run or slope).
Given:
Line passing through the origin.
(c)
The slope of line.

If $5,000 is deposited in an account that receives 6.1% interest compounded continuously, how much money is in the account after 6 years? 2. After how many years will an account have $12,000 if $6,000 is deposited, and the account receives 3.8% interest compounded continuously? 3. Abigail wants to save $15,000 to buy a car in 7 years. If she deposits $10,000 into an account that receives 5.7% interest compounded continuously, will she have enough money in 7 years? 4. Daniel deposits $8,000 into a continuously compounding interest account. After 18 years, there is $13,006.40 in the account. What was the interest rate? 5. An account has $26,000 after 15 years.
