Y=mx+b, m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(7-4)/(6--3)=3/9=1/3
y=x/3 +b, now use either point to solve for b, I'll use (6,7)
7=6/3 +b
7=2+b
b=5 so our line is:
y=x/3 +5 or more neatly...
y=(x+15)/3
I'll do the first two problems to get you started. All problems shown will use the same formula.
===========================================
Problem 4
The formula to use is
C = 100*(B-A)/A
where
A = old value
B = new value
C = percent change
In this case, A = 12 and B = 36, so
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(36-12)/12
C = 100*(24/12)
C = 100*2
C = 200%
We have a 200% increase. It is an increase because the value of C is positive.
===========================================
Problem 5
Use the same formula as in the previous problem. This time,
A = 75 is the old value
B = 25 is the new value
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(25-75)/75
C = 100*(-50/75)
C = 100*(-2/3)
C = -66.6667%
C = -66.7%
The value of C is negative, so we have a percent decrease of roughly 66.7%
Answer:(A.)
Step-by-step explanation:The reason why its a its because that 13x8=104x17=1,768/3=589.3. Therefore 589.3 can not be round to the nearest tenth.
