Can someone help me with part B http://prntscr.com/blxb6i

OpenStudy (photon336):

okay so slope intercept form is y = m(x)+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept the point on the graph where it crosses the y axis when x = 0.

OpenStudy (mathguy5):

I got y=-1/2x+?

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[y-13 = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(x-6)\] okay so first step we've gotta distribute the -1/2 \[-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x-(-\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*6) = -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+3\]

OpenStudy (mathguy5):

Thanks. For part C I'm stuck. I got 6% but it says its wronf http://prntscr.com/blxj65

OpenStudy (photon336):

alright the x axis shows the years after 1987 and the y axis %

@mathguy5

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[\frac{ -1 }{ 2 }(20)+17 => -10+17 = 7~percent\]
