The equation of the horizontal line goes through the point (-1,8)is

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which do not intersect. If the line is parallel to the x-axis then it is a horizontal line that intercepts the y-axis at the y-coordinate of the point (-1,8). So the equation of the line is y = b where b is the y-coordinate or y-intercept. Here it is y = 8.

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%
