Answer:

Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the model:

$A=1200(.85)^6$

0.85=1-0.15

Therefore, the model can be rewritten as:

$A=1200(1-0.15)^6$

This shows that the model decays by a common ratio of 0.15 or 15%.

In general, when the common ratio is less than 1, the model decays while whenever it is greater than one, there is exponential growth.

Whats is y=1/3x+2 This is for math

Answer:

an equation of a line

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an equation of a line. Lets walk through it.

y=1/3x+2

This is to find out what the Y coordinate would be when X is plugged in. So, if x was 6, you would take 1/3 of 6 to get 2, and add 2. The y intercept would be 4, since y=1/3(6)+2, y=2+2, y=4

Y=1/3x+2

This is what the slope is. If the slope is negative (ie. -3/4) the greater the x intercept the lower the y will be. (so if I had x=4 for a slope of -3/4, that would be y=-3/4(4)+2, y=-3+2, y=-1) But if the slope is positive (ie. 1/3) the greater the x value the greater the y value as well. (see graph attached below for positive)

Y=1/3x+2

This is the Y intercept. (This is NOT the y coordinate. This is only the coordinate of y if x=0) This number tells you where the Y intercept is. If it adds, the y intercept is positive. If it subtracts, the y intercept is negative.

Sorry if these explainations dont make sense. But, here is the graph for y=1/3x+2
