Answer:
Slope = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Step 1: Define general form of equation of line</em>
An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept
<em>Step 2: Set up the system to solve for slope M of equation of line</em>
That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (3, 7) and (6, 8).
Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:
7 = 3M + b
8 = 6M + b
<em>Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M</em>
Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:
8 - 7 = 6M - 3M + b - b
Simplify both sides:
1 = 3M
Divide both sides by 3:
=> M = 1/3
Hope this helps!

Any number times 0 is going to equal 0
<h2>Steps</h2>
So here are a couple expressions when a value changes by percentage (p = percentage in decimal form and m = original value):
- When <em>decrease</em>: (1 - p)m
- When <em>increase</em>: (1 + p)m
So firstly, the $80 share dropped by 15%. Since this is a <em>decrease</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

<em>On Tuesday, the share went from $80 to $68</em>
Next, on Wednesday the share increased by $7. With this, just add $68 and 7.

<em>On Wednesday, the share went from $68 to $75</em>
Lastly, on Thursday the share increased by 12%. Since this is an <em>increase</em>, follow the appropriate expression:

<h2>Answer</h2>
<u>The final price of the share is $84.</u>
