Correct answer: <span>Dot-and-cross-diagram
</span>
Dot-and-cross diagrams are used to represent covalent bonds. The shared electron from one atom is shown as a dot, while the shared electron from the other atom is shown as a cross.
When drawing dot-and-cross diagrams for covalent bonds, you only need to show the electrons in the highest occupied energy level, as only these are involved.
Y = mx +b whre m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
We have the slope 3/4 so put that instead of m
y = 3/4x + b
Now to find the y-intercept (b), plug the ordered pair in and solve for b.
-4 = 3/4 * 5 + b
-4 = 15/4 + b
-31/4 + b
So y = 3/4x - 31/4
Decrease = initial price - final price
% decrease = [ (initial price - final price) / initial price ] *100
% decrease =[ (2.89 - 2.83) / 2.89] * 100 = 2.08, which can be rounded to 2.1
Answer: 2.1 %
