Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest way is to graph it based upon the slope (m) and y-intercept (b), in the standard slope-intercept form: y = m (x) + b.
The line above intercepts the y-axis at y = -2, which is b. The slope (m) = rise/run = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1 ); so for the point (-4, 2) to (-6, 4) is:
(4-2)/(-6--4) = 2/(-6+4) = 2/-2 = -1.
So one form of the equation would be:
y = -1x - 2
Now the other form of an equation is point-slope: y-k = m (x-h), where the point is at (h, k)
and if we pick -5 for x (bc 5 it listed in 3 of the answers), the y at x=-5 looks like around +3
so we get: y-k = -1 (x--5)...
y-3 = -(x+5)... therefore D) is the correct answer:
Answer: The total amount the water change was -28 gallons by the end of the week <u>OR</u> The total amount the water changed decreased 28 gallons by the end of the week. Depending on how you want to word it.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Create you equation:</u>
x = the total amount the water changed
d = the amount of days
x = -4d
<u />
<u>Insert the known information into the equation and solve:</u>
x = -4d
x = -4(7)
x = -28
