The slope of the linear function shown is of -1/3.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function, in slope-intercept formula, is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
Given two points of a line, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>.
In this problem, the line goes through points (-3,0) and (0,-1), hence the slope is given by:
m = (0 - (-1))/(-3 - 0) = 1/-3 = -1/3.

#SPJ1
W=-3m+205
m=number of months
205= weight at first to start the diet
w=weight
a)
m=0
so;
w=-3(0)+205=205
Answer: Chris weight at the start of the diet 205 pounds
b)
W=-3m+205
The weight lost each month is the number beside "m", in this case is -3 pounds
Answer: Chris lose 3 pounds per month
c)
w=205-45=160
so
160=-3m+205
-3m+205=160
-3m=160-205
-3m=-45
m=-45/-3=15
Answer: 15 months.
