Answer
The multiplicative rate of change that should be in Hal’s function = 49/50=0.98
=9.8×10⁻¹
Explanation
The investment of $10,000 decreases by 2% every year. So the following year is usually (100 - 2)=98% of the previous year. This is a geometric progression.
In this case the first term = 10000
The second term = 98% × 10000 = 9800.
The common ratio = 9800/10000=49/50
The multiplicative rate of change that should be in Hal’s function = 49/50=0.98.
The equation of the exponential rate would be;
10,000ₓ0.98ⁿ.
where n is the number years.

Step-by-step explanation:
the general slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
a is the slope (and always the factor of x). it is expressed as ratio y/x indicating how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.
b is the y-intercept, the y value of the point, where the line crosses the y-axis (in other words : the y value when x = 0).
so, look at the chart. where do we see points with integer coordinates (these are the easiest to read correctly and work with) ?
I see for example (0, -6) and (4, -7).
to go from the first to the second point :
x changes by +4 units (from 0 to 4).
y changes by -1 unit (from -6 to -7).
the slope a is therefore -1/4.
and the first point i picked gives us also automatically the y-intercept (-6).
so, the line equation is
y = (-1/4)x - 6
The total amount that your friend spent is the sum of the cost for 3 bags of wild bird seed and the bird feeder. By letting x be the cost of each bag of wild bird seed, the total cost for purchasing 3 bags of this is 3x. The equation that may be used to determine x is letter "B. 3x + 18 = 45". Each bag costs $9.
Answer:
The answer would be A. 1 1/5
48/40 = 1 8/40
1 8/40 Simplify to 1 1/5
Hope this helps!
