Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

first put the equation in slop int form:

y= x-6

to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular take the negative reciprical of the slope

so the answer is

$\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Decay} \\\\ A=P(1 - r)^t\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill&50.14\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1200\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\dotfill\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &16\\ \end{cases}$

$\bf 50.14=1200(1-r)^{16}\implies \cfrac{50.14}{1200}=(1-r)^{16}\implies \sqrt[16]{\cfrac{50.14}{1200}}=1-r \\\\\\ r=1-\sqrt[16]{\cfrac{50.14}{1200}}\implies r\approx 0.18\implies \stackrel{\textit{converting to percent}}{r\approx 0.18\cdot 100}\implies r\approx \stackrel{\%}{18}\quad \leftarrow x$
