Melanie began studying a sample of the chemical element einsteinium-253 which naturally loses its mass over time. The relationship between the elapsed time, t, in days, since Melanie started studying the sample, and the total mass remaining in the sample, M(t), in micrograms, is modeled by the following function: M(t)=169⋅(0.96)^t. How much percent does the chemical element lose weight by?

so then what are you asking?

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
