Answer:
Slope = rise / run
= -12 / 1500 (It's -12 and not 12 because a drop means it's decreasing)
= -0.008
6% of $1,600 is = 96 if you multiple it with 180 : 96 × 180 = 17,280
Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=yintercept
given
slope=-1/4
yint=5
y=-1/4x+5
First you transform the expression and then evaluate the power
