Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

per decade
Required
Determine the equation of the function
The information given shows that the function is exponential and will be calculated using:

Where:
a = Initial Value = 400000
b = rate = 2
d = number of decades
v = the current value of the home
So, we have:


Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer
Anything in front of the x. Everything else is irrelevant unless it changes the value of the number in front of the x.
In this case the slope is 2.
New Question
If the equation was given as 3y = 6x - 8, then the slope would be
y = 6/3x - 8/3
y = 2x - 8/3 which turns out to be 2 not 6
0.25 = 3 ft
2/0.25 = 8....8 x 3 = 24 ft
3/0.25 = 12....12 x 3 = 36 ft
actual dimensions are : 24 ft by 36 ft
