Answer 1

Answer:

 y = -3x + 60

Step-by-step explanation:

For the answer to the question above,

 let x = number of weeks let y = amount of waste.

The linear equation may be expressed as,y = mx + b

 m and b are the slope and y - intercept, respectively. Substituting the corresponding values,

  (Week 5)                     45 = 5m + b

  (Week 10)                   30 = 10m + b

Solving for m and b gives the values as m = -3 and b = 60. Thus, the equation is 

 y = -3x + 60
