Answer:
An = 32 - (4*(n-1))
Step-by-step explanation:
the starting term for this pattern is 32 (which you will need to include in the "rule")
you also know that the next term is the previous term - 4
so!
we can write this pattern as
An = 32 - (4*(n-1))
An = any number of term in the pattern
- ex). A2 = 28, A3 = 24, etc
n = the nth term
- the 3rd term = 24, the fourth term = 20, etc

Answer:
- f = -2/5a +14
- 12.4 ≈ 12 fish for 4 algae blooms
Step-by-step explanation:
The 2-point form of the equation for a line is useful when you are given two points to work with:
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
The independent variable (x) is apparently "algae blooms" and is to be represented by "a". The dependent variable (y) is "number of fish" and is to be represented by "f". So, we have ...
f = (4 -10)/(25 -10)(a -10) +10
f = -6/15(a -10) +10
f = -2/5a +14 . . . an equation for the scenario
Four a=4, the fish population is predicted to be ...
f = -2/5(4) +14 = 12.4
There will be about 12 fish when there are 4 algae blooms.
