Answer:
4th option
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship is linear,
putting the value of x in the right side of the equation of option 4, you'll get the value of the left side
putting, x=1
y+4=-1/2(x-1)
y=-1/2(1-1)-4
y=-4
putting, x=7
y+4=-1/2(7-1)
y=-1/2(6)-4
y=-6/2-4
y=-3-4
y=-7
<h3>
Answer: Choice A. 82 websites per year</h3>
=============================================================
How I got that answer:
We have gone from 54 websites to 793 websites. This is a change of 793-54 = 739 new websites. This is over a timespan of 2004-1995 = 9 years.
Since we have 739 new websites over the course of 9 years, this means the rate of change is 739/9 = 82.1111... where the '1's go on forever. Rounding to the nearest whole number gets us roughly 82 websites a year.

You could use the slope formula to get the job done. This is because the slope represents the rise over run
slope = rise/run
The rise is how much the number of websites have gone up or down. The run is the amount of time that has passed by. So slope = rise/run = 739/9 = 82.111...
In a more written out way, the steps would be
slope = rise/run
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope = (793 - 54)/(2004 - 1995)
slope = 739/9
slope = 82.111....
The formula for slope is y=mx+b
so if you re arrange the equation from 8y-16x=12
to 8y=16x+12
the slope will be the coefficient of x =16
