What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, -7) and
(-2,-5)? Write your answer in simplest form.

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

slope formula= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(-1,-7) is (x1,y1)

(-2,-5) is (x2,y2)

Plug in numbers into slope equation

((-5)-(-7))/((-2)-(-1)) = 2/-1

Simplify

answer= -2

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%
