Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct model to use for a proportional relationship is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 16 when x = -4, then this model becomes 16 = k(-4).  Solving for k, we get k = -16/4, or k = -4.

Thus, the specific formula to use here is y = -4x.

Now if y = 4, 4 = -4x, and x must therefore be x = -1.

Answer:

The chemical element loses 4% of its weight everyday

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in knowing the percentage weight loss of the chemical each day.

The key to answering this is looking at the expression inside the bracket.

We can express M(t) = 169•(0.96)^t as

M(t) = 169•(1-0.04)^t

So what this means is that we need to find the percentage value corresponding to 0.04 since it is a constant term here

Mathematically, 0.04 is same as 4/100, so we can clearly say that the constant percentage loss is 4%
