Inflation Rate= CPI2-CPI1/CP1 x 100
- 4x + 25 = 13
4x = 12
x = 3
Rewrite the equation into slope intercept form:
8y = -5x+16
divide everything by 8 to get just y
y = -5/8x+2
the slope = -5/8
Cross multiply:-
3(b - 2) = (2b - 5)(b + 2)
3b - 6 = 2b^2 + 4b - 5b - 10
2b^2 - 4b - 4 = 0
b^2 - 2b - 2 = 0
b = 2.73, -0.73 Answer
