B. 10.1%
(2)(12)($88.18) ÷ [($1100)(18+1)]
(2,116.32) ÷ (20,900)
= 0.1012
= 10.1%
the rate of change is -29/5x^2
I am old, so I like to use paper & pencil
Using the point slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)
m is the slope, because the lines are parallel the slope is identical, so m = -2.
Replace x1 and y1 with the given point and then solve for y:
y - 1 = -2(x-4)
Simplify:
y - 1 = -2x + 8
Add 1 to both sides:
y = -2x +9
