Answer:
y = 100 - 8(n - 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
I. if n = 1 or 1st year = 100 - 8(1-1) is 100
if n = 2 or 2nd year = 100 - 8(2-1) is 92
if n = 3 or 3rd year = 100 -8(3-1) is 84
Hope it'll help.
My answer would be 2y + 9
parallel lines have the same slope
The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"
They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3
You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6
So far we have y=-5/6x + b
We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"
Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get
-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b
-1 = -5 +b
4 = b
b = 4
We found b, or the y-intercept
Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found
y = -5/6x + 4
300 represents the initial value or the value that you started with.
1.15 is the rate that the function increases by over t (time)
Because you are not multiplying 250 by a number larger than 1. If you multiply 250 by a number larger than 1 the product will be larger than 250. If you multiply 250 by a number less than 1 the product will be less than 250.
Hope that helps!
