It is exponential growth because it says 18.36% "more than" and it can be linear because it does not stay at a constant rate of change. Answer: Exponential growth
Hope this helps!
Find the slope using the formula [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].
-9-(-12)/-15-(-24)
3/9
1/3
Find the y-intercept using the formula [ y = mx + b ].
y = 1/3x + b
-12 = 1/3(-24) + b
-12 = -8 + b
-4 = b
Use (18, 2) to see if the line passes through it
y = 1/3x - 4
2 = 1/3(18) - 4
2 = 6 - 4
2 = 2 TRUE
Thus, the line does pass through (18, 2).
Best of Luck!
The answer is 5 7/8
b/c 2 1/2 = 2 4/8
so then convert 8 3/8 as an improper fraction which is 67/8
and do the same w/ 2 4/8 which is 20/8
the do: 67/8 - 20/8 = 47/8
simplify 47/8 = 5 7/8.
Your answer is 5 7/8 inches of ribbon left.
