Answer:
12% decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent decrease, take the original amount and subtract the new amount
650-572=78
Divide this amount by the original amount
78/650 =.12
Multiply by 100
.12*100 = 12
Add the percent symbol
12% decrease
Convert this to slope-intercept form
subtract 1/4x,
3/4y=1-1/4x
then multiply my 4/3
y=4/3-1/3x
y=-1/3x+4/3
4/3 is the y-intercept, so when you're graphing begin with it. Then find another point on the graph according to the slope. Plot point (0,4/3) then plot a point with a y-value 1 less and an x-value 3 more. (slope is sometimes called rise over run because it is a ratio of the change in the y-value divided by the change in the x-value) Plot point (3,1/3). Connect the dots with a ruler and draw a line.
Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(3+1)/(2-0) = 4/2 = 2
The slope is 2

Answer:
(A) 180
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to treat those player selections as independent events, since one doesn't influence the other (the fact you chose Joe as a guard, shouldn't have an influence on who'll pick as center, unless there's bad blood between some players... but that's a whole other story).
So, how many ways to pick 2 guards from a selection of 4? The order doesn't seem to matter here, since they don't specify for example that Joe can only play on the left side). So, it's a pure combination calculation:
C(4,2) = 6.
How many ways to pick the 2 forwards from a group of 5? Using the same calculation, we get:
C(5,2) = 10.
And of course, the coach has 3 ways to pick a center player from 3.
Then we multiply the possible ways to pick guards, forwards and center...
6 * 10 * 3 = 180 ways.
