A hot cup of coffee cools according to the equation \( T ( t ) = 69 \times ( \frac { 1 } { 2 } ) ^ { \frac { t } { 30 } } + 21 \) where \( T \) is the temperature in degrees Celsius and \( t \) is the time in minutes. Is this an example of exponential growth or exponential decay? What part of the equation tells you that?

Q:
A linear function that models data is described below. Find the slope of the model. Then describe what this means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable. The linear function \( f ( x ) = - 0.41 x + 28.6 \) models the percentage of adults in a country who smoked cigarettes, \( f ( x ) \) , \( x \) years after \( 1997 \) .
The slope is \( \square \) . (Type an integer or a decimal.)
