In this context, you would be making a equation using the format: y=mx+b

M being your rate of change

X being the month

B being the starting number

Beverly is LOSING 4 pounds a month, so she would be decreasing by 4, or in other words, -4. That would be your M value

Beverly starts at 160, so that would be your B value

Your equation would look like this:

y= -4x+160

Your answer would be B. y = -4x +160

A) is not the answer because you can't be -160 pounds

C) is not the answer because the 1 is not part of the text.

D) is not the answer because 160 has to be used in the equation in order for it to make sense, you don't start at 0 pounds.

The answer is B) or y = -4x + 160


If her initial weight is 160 pounds, then you must subtract 4x, representing how much weight she lost over time, to find her current weight y


But, since y = 160 – 4x isn't an option, we can reverse to negatives as long as you change the addition/subtraction sign


So, subtracting positive 4x is the same as adding -4x


Therefore, y = 160 – 4x is the same as y = -4x + 160

math question: i write 17 text messages to friends each week for x weeks in a row. write an expression for total members
8090 [49]

Answer:

17x = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that you write 17 text messages a week. 17 will be our constant number, now then after you said for x weeks.

Meaning that x would be our variable cause we can put an input of any number, then put it next to 17 because that is how many times you text a week.

17x = y

17 (how many times you text per week) x (how many weeks) = y (texts in total)

What are the x- and y- intercepts for the graph of 3x+y=15
allochka39001 [22]
To make the equation easier to look at change it to this: 
y = 15 - 3x 
To find the x intercept say y = 0. 
0 = 15 - 3x 
Subtract 15 from each side. 
-15 = -3x 
Divide each side by -3. 
5 = x <–––– x-intercept
The y-intercept of the equation is 15.
Hope this helps!
