The sides of a rectangle were reduced by 70% of their original dimensions. The area of the new rectangle represents what percent of the area of the original rectangle?

a)

y = mx + c

m = slope

c = y-intercept

slope = 3

b)

y-intercept = (0, 28.6)

c)

The graph is a line running bottom-left to top-right with a slope of 3. To draw the graph you need to connect two coordinates.

y-intercept = (0, 28.6)

0 = 3x + 28.6

x = - 143/15

x-intercept = (- 143/15, 0)

Draw the axes and label them x and y.

Please don't cry, have an ice-cream.
