49. Samantha Sweigart invested $12,600 in the MFS Utilities “B” Mutual Fund. The net asset value of the fund at the time of purchase was $18.00 and was back-loaded with a
loading rate of 3.0%. When she sold her fund shares, the net asset value was $20.25.
(a) How many shares did Samantha buy? (b) Considering the back-end load, how
much profit (loss) did Samantha make on her investment?

it would be 6xy and -16xy.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
