9% decrease because 145-132=13
13=9% of 145
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of the line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It's the slope
b: It is the cut point with the y axis.
By definition, if two straight lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, the slope of the line sought will be 

We substitute the given point to find b:

Finally the line is:

Answer:

Answer: The distance is 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the distance between L and Y find the difference in the x and y coordinates then square them and add them to find their square root.
-7-5= -12
0-9 = -9
12^2 + 9^2 = d^2 where d is the distance
144 + 81 = d^2
225 = d^2
d=
d= 15
The answer is √58 = 7.62
So, if you draw this down, you will see that the direct distance is hypotenuse c of a right triangle which sides are 3 blocks (1 south and 2 north) and 7 blocks (4 west and 3 east).
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
c² = a² + b²
a = 3
b = 7
c² = 3² + 7²
c² = 9 + 49
c² = 58
c = √58
c = 7.62
