Question

A certain region is loosing about 22 million acres of rain forest of rain each year
find a linear function f calculates the change in acres of rain forest in million x years
find (9) and interpret the results

anonymous · Answer

something is missing here, but losing 22 million per year means slope is $-22$

anonymous · Answer

so equation would have a $-22x$ in it

anonymous · Answer

I need to find the linear function F calculates the change in acres of rain forest in millions in X years

anonymous · Answer

then the next question is find F(9) and inter[pret the results

anonymous · Answer

you need a starting point

anonymous · Answer

otherwise you just have $f(9)=-22\times 9=-198$  meaning in 9 years you lose 198 million acres
