<h3>Answer:  4.60%</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

We'll ignore the year numbers (2010 and 2016).

The difference in time values is 25-23.9 = 1.1 minutes

Divide this over the first time value to get (1.1)/(23.9) = 0.046025

Moving the decimal point over to the right 2 spots gets us 4.6025% which then rounds to 4.60% when rounding to two decimal places.

-----------------

As a way to verify the answer:

4.60% of 23.9 = 0.046*23.9 = 1.0994

Increasing by 4.60% means the time value has increased by roughly 1.0994 minutes. So we go from 23.9 to 23.9+1.0994 = 24.9994 which is fairly close to 25 minutes. There's a bit of rounding error, but we have effectively confirmed the answer.

What is the equation of this graphed line?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The two points on the line are:

(x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\\(x_2,y_2)=(6,-7)

Now, for a line with two points on it, the slope of the line is given as:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

For the points (x_1,y_1)=(-6,-3)\ and\ (x_2,y_2)=(6,-7), slope is:

m=\frac{-7-(-3)}{6-(-6)}\\m=\frac{-7+3}{6+6}\\m=\frac{-4}{12}=-\frac{1}{3}

Now, for a line with slope 'm' and a point (x_1,y_1) on it is given as:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Plug in all the values and determine the equation of the line. This gives,

y-(-3)=-\frac{1}{3}(x-(-6))\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}(x+6)\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}\times 6\\\\y+3=-\frac{1}{3}x-2\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-2-3\\\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x-5
