The following graph indicates the relationship between income the survey subjects earned and the price of the car that they purchased. The variable shown on the vertical axis is __________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). The units for the variable on the horizontal axis are _________ (options: thousands of dollars per car, thousands of dollars per year, income, thousands of dollars, price, number of goods). There are two ways to view the information presented on the graph. First, the graph tells us the amount a person with a certain income is likely to spend on a car, and second, it tells us the probable income of a person who spent a certain amount on a car.

In 2005, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 20.70% and in 2011, the percentage of the world's population living in extreme poverty was 13.70%. Determine a linear equation that models the world's population in extreme poverty, in percentage, as a function of years since 2005. What is the slope of this function, and what does it tell you in practical terms? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Om = -7.00.
