Hello there!

The first thing you must do is to find the slope of the line. To do this, find the negative reciprocal of your current equation. Since your current slope is 3, the negative reciprocal of that would be -1/3, which would be your slope.

Now that you have your slope, plug it into the slope intercept equation as well as your known points:
(1,8)  m(slope)=-1/3
8=1(-1/3)+b

Now, solve for b:
8=1(-1/3)+b
8=-1/3+b
b=25/3

Now that you have the slope and the b value, you can conclude that your equation would be:
y=-1/3x+25/3

At a certain company, 64.5% of the employees have engineering degrees. Express this percent as a decimal
Verdich [7]

At a certain company, 64.5% of the employees have engineering degrees.

To express the percentage as a decimal we need to remove the % symbol.

To remove % symbol we always divide by 100

When we divide by 100 we move the decimal point two places to the left.

64.5 =\frac{64.5}{100}  = 0.645

The decimal vale of 64.5% is 0.645
