A medical clinic is reducing the number of incoming patients by giving vaccines before flu season. During week 5 of flu season,
the clinic saw 90 patients. In week 10 of flu season, the clinic saw 60 patients. Assume the reduction in the number of patients each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of patients seen each week at the clinic.
Per 5 weeks there is reduction of 30 patients. Divide by the common factor (5) and you see that per 1 week, there is a reduction of 6 patients. Going back in time to see what the first term was, you can create a explicit formula for this function.
