Answer:

60% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage increase/ decrease construct a fraction with numerator showing increase/ decrease and denominator with original number then multiply the fraction by 100%

here the decrease = 45 - 18 = 27

percent decrease = $\frac{decrease}{original}$ × 100%

= $\frac{27}{45}$ × 100% = 60%

Stella graphs the equation y=1/3x – 2

faltersainse [42]

we have

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-2$

Statements

case A) The graph is a straight line.

The statement is True

Because, this is a linear equation (see the attached figure)

case B) The line passes through the origin.

The statement is False

Because the point $(0,0)$ is not a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

$0=\frac{1}{3}*0-2$

$0=-2$ ------> is not true

the point $(0,0)$ is not a solution

therefore

The line does not pass through the origin

case C) The line passes through the point $(0,-2)$

The statement is True

Because the point $(0,-2)$ is a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

$-2=\frac{1}{3}*0-2$

$-2=-2$ ------> is true

the point $(0,-2)$ is a solution

therefore

The line passes through the point $(0,-2)$

case D) The slope of the line is $3$

The statement is False

Because, the slope of the line is $m=\frac{1}{3}$

case E) The y-intercept of the line is $2$

The statement is False

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

For $x=0$

find the value of y

$y=\frac{1}{3}*0-2=-2$

the y-intercept is equal to $-2$
