Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{20}x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the present height of the sand dune is 5 ft and it is eroding 1 ft in every 20 years. If x represent the number of years and y represents the height of the sand dune. Hence we can consider the coordinates be (0,5) (20,4) (40,3) (60,2) (80,1) (100,0)

Let us evaluate the equation of the line plotted on these coordinates

Here we can see the y intercept is 5

Let us find the slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{5-4}{0-20}\\m=\frac{1}{-20}\\m=-\frac{1}{20}

The equation in slope intercept form is given as

y=mx+c

where c is y intercept i.e. 5

y=-\frac{1}{20}x+5

Hence this is our required equation

y = -1/2x + 5 should be your equation because it is 5 ft above sea level and its eroding, or going down, 1 ft per 20 years. So every year, the sand dune erodes 1/20 ft more.

Hope this helps!

Incomplete question. The full question read;

The producer of the news station posted an article about the high school’s football championship ceremony on a new website. The website had 500 views after four hours. Create a table to show how many views the website would have had after the first, second, and third hours after posting if the website receives views at the same rate. How many views would the website receive after 5 hours?

Answer:

<u>625 views</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Remember,</em> we are told to <u>base our calculation on the assumption that the website receives views at the same rate.</u>

Hence, if after 4 hours there were 500 views, it means the average views per hour would be 500/4 = 125 views. So for every hour, there would be 125 added views to the total.

In other words,

First hour: <u>125 views</u>

Second hour:<u> </u><u>250 views (125 views + 125 views</u>)

Third hour: <u>375 views (250 views + 125 views)</u>

Fourth hour: <u>500 views (375 views + 125 views)</u>

Fifth hour:<u> 625 views (500 views + 125 views)</u>
