Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
y ----> represent the pool’s loss of water
x ----> the number of days
a is the initial value
a=25,700 gal
b ----> is the base
r=15%=15/100=0.15
b=(1-r)=1-0.15=0.85
The function is equal to

30/2 = 15
15 x 5 = 75
The number is 75.
Answer:
y = -4x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
As x-values increase by 1, y-values decrease by 4. The slope of the line is ...
... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -4/1 = -4
We can use the first (x, y) pair as a point to use in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form can be written, for slope m and point (h, k) ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
using m = -4 and (h, k) = (1, -2), we can fill in the numbers to get ...
... y = -4(x -1) -2
... y = -4x +4 -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... y = -4x +2 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
_____
<em>Alternate approach</em>
After you recognize that a change in x of 1 gives a change in y of -4, you can work backward one step to find the table value for y corresponding to x=0. That will be -2+4 = +2. Now, you know both the slope (-4) and the y-intercept (+2), so you can write the equation directly from this knowledge:
... y = -4x +2
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by taking a look at the blue line. The slope of any line that passes through two points is equal to the change in y-values over the change in x-values. We can see that the line passes through points (0, 1) and (1, 0). Assign these points to
and
(doesn't matter which you assign) and use the slope formula:

Let:

The slope is equal to:

Therefore, the slope of this line is -1. In slope-intercept form
,
represents slope, so one of the lines must have a term with
in it, which eliminates answer choices A and D.
For the second line, do the same thing. The red line clearly passes through (0, -3) and (3, -2). Therefore, let:

Using the slope formula:

Thus, the slope of the line is 1/3 and the other line must have a term with
in it, eliminating answer choice C and leaving the answer 
*You can find the exact equation of each line by using the slope formula as shown and plugging in any point the line passes through into
