Question

Will give Brainliest. Write a linear equation for this statement:

Answer 1

Write the equation in the standard form:

$y = mx + b$

Arrange the data in tabular form to make it easier

| Day | 1 | 3 |

| Hits | 100 | 81 |

Find slope and then write it in standard form;

$m = - 9.5$

$b = 100$

$y = - 9.5(x - 1) + 100$

Answer 2

Answer:

$H(d) = -9.5(d-1) + 100$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $d_n$ denote the number of hits on day n, then:

$d_1 = 100, d_3 = 81$

we can calculate that over the 2 days, the number of hits decreased by 19.

Assuming this is a linear equation and not an exponential decay line, then the series equation would be: $d_n_+_1 = d_n - 9.5$

To write this as a linear equation, if H(d) is a function where d is the day starting from 1 and H(d) is the nubmer of hits on that day:

$H(d) = -9.5(d-1) + 100$
