Answer: m = 4

Step-by-step explanation: This is a linear equation.

Linear equations can be written in the form y = mx + b where

the multiplier, m, represents the slope of the line and the <em>b</em>

or the constant term represents the y-intercept of the line.

So the slope of this line is simply the multiplier

which is the coefficient of the x term which is 4.

The variable that's used to represent slope is <em>m</em>.

So we say that m = 4.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Eric's expression is :

$20(\frac{1}{4})^w$

and Andrea's is :

$(1-0.5)^w$

In Eric's expression, 20 represents the initial amount of substance with which he has started the experiment. $\thinspace \frac{1}{4}\thinspace$ is the amount of substance left after each time period (in this case, each week).The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.

Andrea's expression can be written as :

$1\cdot (1-0.5)^w$

The one outside of parentheses represents the initial amount of the substance. The one inside of parentheses represents 100% of the original amount of the substance. 0.5 represents the 50% of the substance that is lost each time period. The variable w in this case represents the number of weeks.
