Ur perpendicular line will have -1 as the slope
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1
(2,5)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 5
now sub
y - 5 = -1(x - 2) can be written like : y - 5 = -(x - 2)
Its Letter A see photo for solution
Answer: 7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Initial jobs = 428.5 thousand
Average rate of declining of jobs from 2010 to 2020 = 3 thousand jobs per year
From 2010 to 2020 , there are 10 years.
Total jobs declines till 2020 = 10 x (3 thousand)
= 30 thousand (Change in jobs)
Now, utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 : 

Utilities percent change for 2010 to 2020 = 7 %
