Answer:
This is a guess!
When looking at the given equation I can not help but think of compound interest. So I am going to convert this into that format.
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within the context of financial interest:
Looking for:
P
(
1
−
x
)
n
Where P is the principle sum,
x
is the interest and n is the number of interest cycles (annual)

Given:
y
=
5100
(
0.95
)
x
But
0.95
=
1
−
0.05
so we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
0.05
)
x
But
.
0.05
=
5
100
So we have
y
=
5100
(
1
−
5
100
)
x
Thus the percentage change each year is
−
5
%
