The linear function y= -0.4x + 29 models the percentage of U. S. men, y, smoking cigarettes x years after 1980. Find the slope of the given model.
Then, describe what this means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent
variable per unit change in the independent variable.

Find the slope of the given model.

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

no oblique asymptote

step-by-step explanation:

to find the oblique asymptote of f(x)

here numerator has degree 1 and denomintor degree 2

degree of numerator < degree of denominator

hence there is no oblique asymptote

when the degree of the denominator > that of the numerator, we saw that the value in the denominator got so much bigger, so quickly,   giving us a horizontal asymptote of the x-axis. or we can write

f(x) = a polynomial of x + a proper fraction.

in this case only we have oblique asymptotes but not when numerator has less degree.

a natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life.
