Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (8, 4)
m = 
= - 
, hence
y = - x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (8, 4), then
4 = - 
+ c ⇒ c = 4 + = 
y = - x + ← equation of line

1)
P = 600
I = 0.07
N = 2
2)
P = 4000
R = 0.09
N =4
3)
P=6000
R = 12
I = .084
Answer:
32.4
Step-by-step explanation:
prior + 8.1 = 40.5 . . . . . . seems to model the problem statement
prior = 32.4 . . . . . . . subtract 8.1 from both sides
Prior to the increase the percent was 32.4.

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>
When you're talking about a percentage increase in a percentage, it is almost never clear whether you're talking about the percentage of the underlying number, or the percentage of the percentage.
Here, we assume the 8.1 is a percentage of working students, not a percentage of the percentage of workings students. If you actually intend the latter, the percentage before the increase was about 37.465%.
