The point-slope form of a line is:
y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope of the line and (x1,y1) is any point on the line.
In this case x1=7 and y1=-2 so the point used to create this equation is:
(7, -2)
Answer:
Always linear...
Decreases with successive trophic level
7x-5<13x-3
Minus 7x
-5<6x-3
then add 3
-2<6x
Then divide -2 by 6 and 6x by 6
-1/3>x
I think thats right
