Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The scatter plot trends downward from left-> right, meaning that it is negative. Next, use two points to solve for the value for the slope.
In this case, I will use (-3 , 1) & (0 , 0)
Use the following equation. m = slope:

Let:

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

Your answer will be:

A rational number is a number that can be express as the ratio of two integers. A number that cannot be expressed that way is irrational.
1. 72 to 50 points
50/72 = 69%
100-69= 31% decrease
2. 14 to 40 books
14 / 40 = 35%
100-35= 65% increase
3. 10 plus 30% increase
10 * 0.3 = 13
