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
