Y=mx+b helps to find slope of a line.
B is where it starts on the y axis.
m is the slope.
Suppose that the <u>function</u> f(x) is the <u>parrent</u> function and the<u> graph</u> of the function g(x)=f(x)-a can be obtained from the graph of the parrent function f(x) by <u>shifting down</u> a units.
Rewrite the expression for the function
in the following way:

This shows that the shift down is made by 17 units.
Answer: 17 units
Yo sup??
we can simply try option verification for this problem.
when x=0 we get,
1 and 1≠5 therefore x=0 is not a solution.
when x=1 we get
√6-1≠5 therefore x=1 is not a solution.
when x=16 we get
9-4=5 therefore x=16 is a solution
Hence the correct answer is option C
Hope this helps.

The Amazon rainforest is gradually being destroyed by pollution and agricultural and industrial development. For simplicity, suppose that each year, 10% of the remaining forest is destroyed. Assume, also for simplicity, that the present area of the Amazon rainforest is 1,200,000 square miles.
1.a) What will the area of the forest be after 1 year of this destruction process?
1.b) What will the area of the forest be after 2 years of this destruction process?
2) Make a graph showing your results from Question 1 and continuing through 5 years of the destruction process. Include the present situation as a point on your graph.
3) Find a rule for how much rain forest will remain after X years. That is, express the area of the rain forest as a function of X.
