<span>The minimum wage in 2003 was $5. Let denote this minimum wage with: W_min_2003.
In 1996 the minimum wage was 15 the W_min_2003 ,so we can write:
W_min_1996=15*W_min_2003=15*5 USD= 75 USD.
The minimum wage in 1996 was 75 USD.</span>
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x1, y1) = (3, 1)
(x2, y2) = (2,4)
the slope is
m= y2−y1/x2−x1 = 4-1/2-3 = 3/-1 = <u>-3</u>

This might look hard at first, but if you break it down into parts, it will be much easier. With that said, start with what you know. You see that the word problem says "the difference of y and 9", which means that you have to stubtract them. So, part of the equation is going to be y - 9. Now to look at the rest of the word problem. It says to divide by 3, so now you have to take what you have so far and divide that by 3. This means that you are going to have to divide the y - 9 by 3.
Your answer should be:
y - 9 / 3
