Answer 1

Answer:

y=-1/2n+44

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bean stalks, n, represents the x values

The yield, y, represents the y values

After reading the problem, we have two coordinates: (30,29) and (32, 28) Because this problem is asking for y=mn+b, we have to find the slope. How do we find the slope? We do so by using the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Now let's input the coordinates into this formula.

1.) 28-29/32-30 = -1/2

Let's plug -1/2 into y=mn +b

2.) y=-1/2n+b

Now we have to find what b ( y intercept) equals. To find B, we plug a coordinate into x and y. Let's use (30,29)

3.) 29 = -1/2(30)+b

29 = -15 +b

44 = b

We have now found the linear relationship form for this problem: y=-1/2n +44
