A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 3 weeks, the sheet is only 1.25 meters thick. Let y represent the ice sheet's thickness ( in meters) after x weeks. Complete the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks.

Answer:

y = 2 - 0.25x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the initial thickness of the ice sheet = 2 meters,

After 3 weeks, the thickness of ice sheet reduced to 1.25 meters

Hence, the difference in the thickness in 3 weeks is calculated as:

2m - 1.25m = 0.75m

The amount of changes that occurred in 3 weeks is given as:

= 0.75/3 = 0.25 meters,

We are told that, the ice is melting with the constant rate.

Therefore, the equation for the relationship between the thickness and number of weeks is given as:

y = 2 - 0.25x
