Answer:

5200 deer/year

Step-by-step explanation:

$rateofchange=changeinpopulation \div changeinyears$
we will call the rate of change, the slope of the function
$slope=(72000-46000)deer\div (1990-1985)years\\=26000deer\div 5years\\=(\frac{26000}{5}) deer/year\\==5200deer/year$

Answer:

The percentage decrease is 27%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent decrease, first find the difference in the two costs.

$205,000 - $149,650 = $55,350

Now divide that number by the original cost.

$55,350/$205,000 = 27%

Which is the equation in the slope-intercept form of the line that contains points E & F ?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

y = 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = E(4, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = F(2, - 4)

m = $\frac{-4-4}{2-4}$ = $\frac{-8}{-2}$ = 4 , then

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 4), then

4 = 16 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 16 = - 12

y = 4x - 12 ← equation of line
