Your mom opens an account to save money for a family vacation. the account earns an annual interest rate of 4%. she earns $37 in simple interest after 6 months. how much money did she put in the account when she opened it?

$1,850 is the correct answer. When you divide the interest ($37) by the time in years (0.5) and the interest rate (0.04), you get the correct amount of principal.

That's straight from the source. I feel so bad that your question didn't get answered. It's legit been two years

is there answer choices?

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
