Answer:
the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that since (0, -6) is the y-intercept, we can write the slope-intercept equation of the line as y = mx - 6. The other given point is (-2, 0) (which happens to be the x-intercept also). Starting with y = mx - 6, replace y with 0 and x with -2:
0 = m(-2) - 6. We now solve this for the slope, m: 0 = -2m - 6 becomes
2m = -6, or m = -3.
With m = -3 and b = -6, the equation of the line is y = -3x - 6

Answer:
6 Hours
Explanation:
Linear Equation: mx+b=y
x variable: Hour
Hourly Fee: $15(x)
(Initial) Rent Fee: $25
Balance: $100
Equation:
15x+25=100
15x+25-25=100-25 -- <em>Separate the constant terms from the x by subtracting 25 from both sides.</em>
15x=100
15x/15=100/15 --<em> Isolate the x variable by dividing 15 from both sides.</em>
x=6.6.. <em>-- Round down to 6 (not 7) because you can't afford to snowboard for 7 hours with less than $15. </em>
x=6 Hours
I don't think you're stupid. ^^
Let's take the third term, 8. If n=3, then an should be 8.
The first answer gives 15+2.5*3=22.5.
The second answer gives 15.5+2.5=23.
The third answer gives 15-2.5*3=7.5.
The fourth answer gives 15.5-2.5*3=8.
Choice 4 is correct.
Let's try to actually find the equation on our own.
The equation for an arithmetic series is an=a0+dn where a0 is the term that comes before the first term.
The first term given is 13 and it decreases by 2.5 each time so n=-2.5 and the term that would be before 13 is 15.5.
Thus the equation is an=15.5-2.5n
