<h3>Answer: n = -11</h3>
The other choices are false, so choice C is the only solution here.
==================================================
Explanation:
Draw a number line. You'll have 0 in the center, with positive values on the right. The positive values increase 1,2,3,4,... as you move from left to right.
The negative values will go in the opposite direction. When going from right to left, we have -1, -2, -3, -4, ...
See the diagram below.
Now plot an open hole at -7 on the number line. The open hole says that we exclude this value from the solution set. Then we shade everything to the left of the open circle. This visually describes all values smaller than -7. Something like -2 is not to the left of -7, meaning -2 < -7 is false. But a value like -10 is to the left of -7, making -10 < -7 true.
With that in mind, the answer is n = -11 since -11 is to the left of -7. Of the values in the answer choices, it's the only thing to the left of -7.
The value n = -7 cannot be the solution because n < -7 would become -7 < -7 which is false.
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
The initial value is 3
It represents the distance between the bird and its nest before any elapsed time which is 3 miles.
<u><em>Step-by-step explanation:</em></u>
The graph is shown in the attached image.
<u>The general form of a straight line is:</u>
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.
The y-intercept is also known as the initial value. It is the value of y at x=0.
From the givens, we can note that at x = 0, the y-value is 3. This means that the y-intercept is 3.
Now, in the problem, x represents the time in minutes while y represents the distance of the bird from the nest in miles.
At x = 0, meaning before any time elapsed, the distance of the bird from its nest was 3 miles.
Hope this helps :)
