Answer:
Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ---> the number of years since 2012
f(x) ---> is the total amount of salt ingested in grams
we have

This is a linear equation in slope intercept form
where
The slope is equal to

The y-intercept or initial value is equal to

The y-intercept is the value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero
In this context, the y-intercept is the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012
The exact value of the average amount of grams of salt ingested in the year 2012 is 3,554 grams (see the data in the table)
Compare the exact value with the y-intercept

therefore
3,548 grams Is an estimate of the average grams of salt used in 2012
To find the slope, you can either use the slope equation:
(y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
{I would recommend you remember this because you'll need to know this in the future}
or,
Just count. A slope is rise over run, so you see how far up the slope goes from one point to the other, (1), and then you see how far sideways the slope goes (2).
Going right, the slope is naturally declining downwards, so it's a negative.
The answer is B. -1/2.
Answer:
x squared
Step-by-step explanation:
x exponent 4 can be written like this:
x*x*x*x
*=multiply
you can then divide it by x 3 times and... ye.
