The answer would have to be D.
Answer:
1.) 18 is decreasing by 83%
2.) 16 is decreasing by 12.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Part ÷ Whole = Percent (decimal form)
1.) First, you subtract the smaller number from the larger number: 18 - 3 = 15. Then you find the percent of the part: 15 ÷ 18 = 0.833333333333. This can be rounded to 0.83. Multiply 0.83 by 100 to get the percentage: 0.83 • 100 = 83%. To check your answer, multiply 0.83 by 18. It checks out. 18 is being <em>decreased</em> by 83%.
2.) Subtract 14 from 16 to get 2. Then divide 2 by 16: 2 ÷ 16 = 0.125. Multiply that by 100: 0.125 • 100 = 12.5%. To check this, we multiply 0.125 • 16 = 2. It works. So, 16 is being <em>decreased</em> by 2%.

Answer:
<h2>
b) y = -3x - 7</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
3x + y = 5 {subtract 3x from both sides}
y = -3x + 5 ← slope-intercept form
y=m₁x+b₁ ║ y=m₂x+b₂ ⇔ m₁ = m₂
{Two lines are parallel if their slopes are equal}
y = -3x + 5 ⇒ m₁ = -3 ⇒ m₂ = -3
(-1, -4) ⇒ x₁ = -1, y₁ = -4
The point-slope form:
y - (-4) = -3(x - (-1))
y + 4 = -3(x + 1)
y + 4 = -3x - 3 {subtact 4 from both sides}
