Answer:
y = - 0.5x
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 )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 1) ← 2 points on the line
m = =
=
= - 0.5
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 0 ) ⇒ c = 0
y = - 0.5x + 0 . that is
y = - 0.5x
The percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.
<h3>What is the percentage?</h3>The quantity of anything is stated as though it were a fraction of a hundred. A fraction of 100 can be used to express the ratio.
The percentage of the 8th graders who want to go to the water slides is found from;
In the year 2000, a house was valued at $60 000.
In 2010, the same house was valued at $80 000.
The percentage value is found as;
Hence the percentage by which the cost is increasing will be 75%.
