Answer: 0.4 which is choice C
====================================
Work Shown
Focus on the "riverside high school" row only
A = number of twelfth graders = 200
B = number of students = 500
P = probability of picking a twelfth grader
P = A/B
P = 200/500
P = 2/5
P = 0.4
The equation would just be x=8 since the x of both points is 8.
I think the answer is (9,8)

first I made the fraction have equal denominators which was 6 by doing that I multiplyed the numerator and the denominator
1/2
1×3=3
2×3=6
therefore 1/2 being equivalent to 3/6
1/3
1×2=2
3×2=6
therefore 1/3 being equivalent to 2/6
now you would be able to add the numerators, so 2+3=5
therefore being 5/6 of the paper is devoted to news and pictures
In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.
In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.
We can test that using several pair of points.
The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:
[f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)
Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)
[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5
[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5
[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5
Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5
