So my understanding from this you have to make it y = mx + b so m stands for the slope there’s different ways to find it as shown in the first picture. I’ll try to make another comment since this only lets me take one picture at a time.
Need a little help plz. I think it could be 2AM but I’m not sure.

Answer:
- Part A: The price of fuel A is decreasing by 12% per month.
- Part B: Fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
Explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
The function calculates the price of fuel A each month by multiplying the price of the month before by 0.88.
Month price, f(x)
1 2.27 (0.88) = 1.9976 ≈ 2.00
2 2.27(0.88)² = 1.59808 ≈ 1.60
3 2.27(0.88)³ = 1.46063 ≈ 1.46
Then, the price of fuel A is decreasing.
The percentage per month is (1 - 0.88) × 100 = 12%, i.e. the price decreasing by 12% per month.
<u>Part B.</u>
<u>Table:</u>
m price, g(m)
1 3.44
2 3.30
3 3.17
4 3.04
To find if the function decreases with a constant ration divide each pair con consecutive prices:
- ratio = 3.30 / 3. 44 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.17 / 3.30 = 0.960 ≈ 0.96
- ratio = 3.04 / 3.17 = 0.959 ≈ 0.96
Thus, the price of fuel B is decreasing by (1 - 0.96) × 100 =4%.
Hence, the fuel A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous month.
