Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
Given:
The equation of line is

To find:
The x and y-intercept of the given line.
Solution:
We have,

Putting x=0, we get

Add 6 on both sides.


Divide both sides by 4.

So, the y-intercept is
.
Putting y=0 in given equation, we get

Add 5 on both sides.


Divide both sides by 7.

So, the x-intercept is
.

First we must apply the Quotient rule that states,

This means that our derivative becomes,

Now we need to calculate
and 


From here the new equation looks like,

And that is the final result.
Hope this helps.
