Hoi!

The correct answer would be "Daryl received two 3's as scores on his paper from the readers, but Sheila received two 6's."

When placing a number in a sentence before an S, it is to always have an apostrophe. Along with this, this is the only sentence that uses the correct form of "readers", since in this sentence, "readers" is being used as a plural noun, not a possessive noun.

Possessive nouns contain an apostrophe to show that something belongs to someone else.

Ex: That cat is her's.

The possessive noun is "her's" because it's showing that she is the owner of the cat.

As for plural tense, it speaks for more than one person or object.

Ex: The cats scrambled up the tree.

The plural noun is "cats" because it's referring to more than one cat.

Answer:

Part A: What is the rate of change and initial value of the function represented by the graph, and what do they represent in this scenario?

First, calculate the rate of change (Slope, once it is a linear function):

I will take the points: $(0, 100)$ and $(1, 80)$

$m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}= \frac{100-80}{0-1}=-20$

Let's understand the graph!

This linear graph is about songs being downloaded in a period of 5 weeks.

In the beginning, we have 100 songs to be downloaded. As the weeks past, the number of songs remaining decreases, that's why the graph's slope is negative. In week 5, all songs were downloaded.

The initial value (100) represents the number of songs.

Part B: Write an equation in slope-intercept form to model the relationship between x and y.

The Slope-intercept form of linear equations is $y=mx+b$
