<span>A) y = 3x because the slope (rate of change) is 3. The y-intercept is 0 so we don't necessarily need to add anything else.

So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.
for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:
so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %
Answer:
Y = mx + b
y = how far up
x = how far along
m = Slope or Gradient (how steep the line is)
b = value of y when x=0
To use the distributive property, we "distribute" a value on the outside of a set of parentheses to all of the values on the inside of the parentheses. For example...
6(3 + 9) = 6*3 + 6*9
For your problem, you only have one value 13.99, but we can split it apart to make it a little easier to work with (like with mental math). We can say that 13.99 is the same as 10 + 3.99. Now we can take it and multiply by 9 with the distributive property...
9(10 + 3.99) =
9*10 + 9*3.99 =
90 + 35.91 =
$125.91
3.045*10^-3 is the scientific notation
