Answer:
D 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
S(t) = S0·(1 + rate)t<span>S(t) = salary at year t
<span>S0 = starting salary = $35,000
</span>rate = 4% = 0.04
<span>t = years</span></span>
<span>42.7−<span>(<span>−12.4</span>)
</span></span><span>=<span>42.7−<span>(<span>−12.4</span>)
</span></span></span><span>=<span>42.7+12.4
</span></span><span>=<span>55.1</span></span>
You could turn the fraction into a decimal and then see which is bigger
The slope will be -3/4
To find slope you just place the change in y over the change in x.
2- -1=3
0-4= -4
The slope is -3/4 which is the same as before
