The veterinarian weighed oliver's new puppy, boaz, on a defective scale. he weighed 36 pounds. however, boaz weighs exactly 34.5 pounds. what is the percent of error in measurement of the defective scale to the nearest tenth? explain your answer and show your work.

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
