Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
No, it doesn’t have a positive slope because the negative sign in front 2 means that the slope is negative and going down. If the slope would’ve been positive than there wouldn’t have been a negative sign and it would go up.
Let x represent the amount of lawn mowers that were manufactured
The company has to pay $34,816 before they even make any lawn mowers plus $388 per lawn mower.
((34816+388x)/x)=660
34816+388x=660x
34816=272x
X=128
Therefore, there were 128 lawn mowers manufactured
To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.
Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015
Then we have:

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.
Yes, your answer is correct.
