Marcia has two credit cards and would like to consolidate the two balances into one balance on the card with the lower interest rate. The table below shows the information about the two credit cards Marcia currently uses. Card A
Card B
Amount
$1,389.47
$1,065.32
APR
16%
12%
Monthly Payment
$39.38
$28.05

After 4 years, approximately how much will Marcia have saved in interest by consolidating the two balances?
a.
$1,890.24
b.
$133.92
c.
$543.84
d.
$1,346.40

ANSWER IS B

B. $133.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the test and got it right

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

2425
