Y = mx + b
m=slope=-4
(3,5) => 5=-12 + b => b = 17
y= -4x + 17
Answer: 30% change in the number of unemployed construction workers over this period
Step-by-step explanation:
September 1, 1992
The total number of construction workers = 1,000 (assume);
16% are unemployed, so the number of unemployed workers is 16*1000/100= 160.
September 1, 1996
The total number of construction workers 20% greater 20*1000/100+1000=1200;
9% are unemployed, thus the number of unemployed workers = 9*1200/100=108.
Decrease is 52, which is approximately 30% of 160.
The salary in 2012 was $65,000.
If the inflation rate is 4%, the salary should increase at least 4% per year to keep up with inflation.
Then, we can calculate the salary adjusted by inflation in 2021 as:
Replacing with the data, we get:
Answer: the adjusted salary to keep up with inflation should be $92,515.27 in 2021.
(n-1)-3 = (3n)/2 This is the equation used to represent the information given
A. all of the answers are correct when you plug in these values
