Answer:

-20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular price = $600

Current sale price = $480

To find the percentage decrease in this case, use percentage change formula;

Percentage change = $\frac{Current price - Regular price}{Regular price}$ *100

Next, plug in the numbers into the formula ;

Percentage change = $\frac{(480 -600)}{600}*100 \\ \\ =\frac{-120}{600} *100\\ \\ =-0.2*100\\ \\ =-20%$

Therefore, the percentage decrease is -20%

Answer:

The answer is A (y = 2x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

B and D aren't correct because the y-intercept is a positive 2 instead of negative 2 like the graph shown. We're now left with A and C. Go on one point of the graph and count up or down to go on the same y value as the other point. Go left or right and count until you go to the same point. Remember that the slope equation is rise/run. Rise meaning up or down. Run meaning left or right.
