Jennifer has a string attached to the end of a buoy with extra string coiled on the bottom of the tank. She measures the length
of the string from where it is attached to the buoy to the bottom of the tank as he adds more water to the tank. The length changes linearly as water is added. The table shows the collected data. What is the slope of the line that models the data?

Okie, so percent decrease is the amount loss divided by the original number and multiplied by 100 to find the percent. This is because you are finding the amount loss in terms of the total amount - percent basically. The amount loss : 4 feet 4 feet/ 12 feet = .3333 (ratio of how much cut) multiply by 100 --> 33.3% decrease. From 12 feet to 8 feet is a 33.3 % decrease. I hope this helps :-)
