Question

For each diagram, decide if y is an increase or a decrease of x. Then determine the percentage.

Answer 1

Answer:
In A: y is a 25% decrease of x
In B: y is a 25% increase of x
Step-by-sep explanation:
For A:
The diagram in A shows that x = 4, while y = 3.
Thus, this means that y decreased by 1, relative to x.
The percentage decease would be:


Therefore, y is a 25% decrease of x.
For B:
The diagram for B shows that x = 4, while y = 5.
Thus, this means that y increased by 1, relative to x.
The percentage increase would be:


Therefore, y is a 25% increase of x.
