Answer: - 8.89%
I am going to explain you in detail ir order to help you to be able to do this kind of problems by yourself.
The definition of percent change, %, is:
change
% = ---------------- * 100
base value
The base value is from where you start or the value for which you want to asses the variation.
So, in this case the base value is 90 (starting value).
The change is final value - initial value = 82 - 90 = - 8. The negative sign means that the value decreased.
So, following the formula you get:
82 - 90 - 8
% = ----------- * 100 = -------- * 100 = - 8.89
90 90
Answer: the percent of change is - 8.89 %, meaning that the value decreased 8.89%.
The coefficient of x is the value for slope in y-intercept form, and the number that we add or subtract is our y-intercept. So in this case, we want to look for a "-2" in front of x and a +4 in the equation.
Answer choice A fulfills those conditions. (I am also assuming that answer choice A should have had an x in it, but you accidentally forgot to type it.)
Please rate & heart answers you find helpful! :)
First, distribute the minus sign across the second set. So you have:
x - y + 1 - x - y + 1
Now, we combine like terms:
x-x=0
-y-y=-2y
1+1=2
So we have -2y+2
Hope that helps.
X-intercepts: (2.1, 0) and (-8.1, 0)
y-intercept: (0, -17)
