I know this is late and you probably got the answer but just in case its C. 5. :P
X=number of years after 2000.
y=percentage of residents (still) reads newspapers for information
initial value (= y-intercept) = percentage in 2000 = 54%
slope = increase each year = -1.7% (because it is a decrease)
the slope intercept form of the equation is therefore:
y=slope(x)+initial value, or
y=-1.7x+54 (in %)
The number is 20. Work in picture if you want it or want justification of steps:)
Answer:
y= -2x+8
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
This is the point slope form equation that can be used to solve this.
Plug in the slope for m and (6,-4) for (x₁,y₁)
y-(-4)=-2(x-6)
Simplify.
y+4= -2x+12
y= -2x+8
