So your equation is currently in point-slope form; however, to figure out the slope and y-intercept, you'd be better off in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
while in point-slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can definitely see the slope as -5, you can't see the y-intercept as easily. x-intercepts are actually the solutions/zeros of a function, and it was included in the answer choices to confuse you.
you're correct about -5 being a decreasing slope. but to figure out the y-intercept, you need to convert to slope-intercept form.
y - 4 = -5(x + 1) ... distribute the -5
y - 4 = -5x - 5 ... add 4
y = -5x - 1
and in the form of y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, you can see that you have a decreasing slope of -5 and a y-intercept of -1. your correct answer is A. choices C and D were thrown in to distract you and make you think that the -5(x + 1) was somehow related to discovering the x-intercept.

Answer:
The water level will change at a rate of - 2 7/18 inches per year
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we have a change of -7 1/6 inch every 3 years
We now want to calculate the value of the change every year
Mathematically, that will be;
- 7 1/6 divided by 3
= -43/6 divided by 3
= -43/18 = - 2 7/18 inch per year
Answer:
For mean it's the average. You add all three numbers (13, 13 , 10), then you divide it by three since their are three numbers. Average would be 12.
Hope this helps (:
