Non linear means not a straight line so answer C or the third answer.
For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: number of weeks
y: amount of cereal that Melanie eats
We now write the function that models the problem:

Then, for 5 weeks we have:
Answer:
A model that best represents the number of pounds of cereal she eats is:
For 5 weeks we have:
Answer: 5, 3,
, D
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
-5 < 0 so f(-5) = | -5 | = 5
-3 < 0 so f(-3) = | -3 | = 3
6 > 0 so f(6) = 
graph D <em>(since x can equal zero)</em>
You should subtract left sides and right sides in order to make y disappeared
and you will have the following:
y - y = (x - 6) - (3x - 8) => 0 = x - 6 - 3x - 8 => 0 = -2x - 14 =>
2x = -14 => x = -14/2 = -7
Now you can use -7 in the system and you will get y
y = -7 - 6 = -13
So your answers will be:
x=-7 and y=-13
Count down until you reach the line the point is on and count to lines until you reach the point
In this case down 2 and right 4
So your slope is negative
And the line crosses the y-axis at 1 so you intercept is 1
-2/4x+1 would be correct but it is not simplified
-1/2x+1 is the correct answer because the equation is simplified
