Step-by-step explanation:
From smallest to largest:

Answer:
y = 6x - 9
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Slope Formula: 
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Point (4, 15)
Point (-1, -15)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute:

- Subtract:

- Divide:
<u>Step 3: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Define: y = 6x + b
- Substitute: -15 = 6(-1) + b
- Multiply: -15 = -6 + b
- Isolate <em>b</em>: -9 = b
- Rewrite: b = -9
<u>Step 4: Write linear equation</u>
<em>Substitute in all variables.</em>
y = 6x - 9
And we have our answer!
Answer:
18500 is the initial value
Every year they increase by a factor of 1.03
Step-by-step explanation:
This is written in the form
y = ab^x where a is the initial value and b is the growth rate/decrease
y = (18500) (1.03)^t
The initial value is 18500
The students will increase by 1.03 - 1 = .03
The factor of increase is what they multiply by which is 1.03
It's pretty easy to go through the choices and none has a[2]=-36 and a[5]=2304. Something's probably wrong with the way the question is typed, but I will answer what's written.
