Answer:
y = -2x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (-4 - 8)/(5 + 1)
= -12/6
= -2
Equation
y - 8 = -2(x + 1)
y - 8 = -2x - 2
y = -2x + 6 <-----------slope-intercept form
38% of 21,515,714 is 8175971.32 which can be rounded to 8,175,971.

Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
I think you would use the equation 2x+1+33+90=180
