A line with a slope of o passes through the points (9, z) and (-7, 5). What is the value of z?

z = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

m = ∆y/∆x = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

0 = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁ = 5 - z / -7 - 9 = 5 - z / -16 →

5 - z / -16 = 0 → 5 - z / -16 × -16 = 0 × -16 → 5 - z = 0 →

5 - z - 5 = 0 - 5 → -z = -5 → z = 5

6/20

step-by-step explanation:

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
