Hi!

[tex]y=-5x+95[/tex]

Plug in [tex]15[/tex] for [tex]x[/tex]

[tex]y=-5(15)+95[/tex]

Multiply [tex]-5[/tex] and [tex]15[/tex]

[tex]y=-75+95[/tex]

Add [tex]-75[/tex] and [tex]95[/tex]

[tex]y =15[/tex]

Betty's percentage is 15%.

The rate of change is the amount it changes for every missing assignment, therefore it would be -5.
