PLz help gold medal will b awarded.a school system is reducing the amount of loads of trash removed. in week 10, there were 30 dumpster loads removed. assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week

plz i hope u can help me

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

to get a linear function you need 2 points...you only gave 1 ...(10,30)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it said write an equation in function form

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yeah function f(w) = -3w+60 would work but there is not enough info to know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all the info

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

then i guess you can make up any numbers you want as long as slope is negative and f(10) = 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx so much though thats one of my choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(X)=-3x+60

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is that correct
