so the sun is one of the foci, and we have an eccentricity of 0.97. So the ellipse will look more or less like the picture below.


Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
y = -3/2x - 1/2
b = -1/2
To locate the y-intercept on the graph, find the point where the line crosses through the y-axis or the y-value when x = 0
I can't see the graph but hopefully this information helps you find the answer

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The way I figured this out is to just pick some starting values for the grams of this element and plug them into the formula using t = 1 day and seeing how much is left. I chose 2 different starting amounts and came up with the same percentage each time, so it must be correct! Here's what I did:
First I chose a starting amount, a, of 10 grams. Plugging into the formula:

and got that the amount LEFT was 9.5 grams
Then I chose a starting amount, a, of 20 grams. Plugging into the formula:

and got that the amount LEFT was 19 grams.
I then asked the algebraic question,"What percent of 10 is 9.5?" which translates to
x% * 10 = 9.5 and
x = 95% (that's the amount left as a percentage).
and
x% * 20 = 19 and
x = 95%
Since both of those came out the same, that tells me that after 1 day there is still 95% of the element remaining, so 5% decays each day.
