You need to simplify it first.
$-3=-4(x-5)$
Use distribution
$-3=-4x+20$
y=mx+b
m=slope
your slope is -4 :)

The number of trees in a rainforest decreases each month by 0.5%. The forest currently has 2.5 billion trees. Which expression r

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Step-by-step explanation:

The above question is in the form of an exponential decay. The equation for an exponential decay is given by:

$y=ab^x$

where y and x are variables, b < 1, a is the initial value of y (that is the value of y when x = 0).

Let y represent the number of trees left and x represent the number of months. Given that there is currently 2.5 billion trees, therefore a = 2.5 * 10⁹, b = 0.5% = 0.005. The equations becomes:

$y=2.5*10^9(0.005^x)\\\\After\ ten\ years(x=10*12\ months=120\ months):\\\\y=2.5*10^9(0.005^{12 0}) \\\\$

Answer:

4x^2+17x+15

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x-3)(x+5)

= 4x(x+5) -3(x+5)

= 4x^2+ 20x -3x + 15

= 4x^2 + 17x + 15
