Question

kelp me plz!!!!!

Answer 1

A school system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. In week 5, there were 60 dumpster loads of waste removed. In week 10, there were 40 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.

f(x) = - 4x + 60

f(x) = 4x + 60

f(x) = - 4x + 80

f(x) = 4x + 80

Answer 2

Use the two points, (5,60) and (10,40) to write the equation of the line.

Answer 3

Use y = mx+b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept.

I know you know how to find the slope between two points, we did that earlier.

Answer 4

You find the slope, and I'll help you find b, the y-intercept.

Answer 5

lol give me a minute then..

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

got lost?

Answer 8

kinda lol...my computers gone capute...

Answer 9

not loading pages...

Answer 10

SO for this i need to make my own equation right?

Answer 11

@ehuman please help me...

Answer 12

You need to write the equation of the line between the two points, (5,60) and (10,40).

So you first must find the slope of the line passing through these two points.

What is the slope? We did this before.

It is the change in y-valkues divided by the change in x-values.

Answer 13

Its this right??

Answer 14

so: 60 - 40 = 20?
RIght?

Answer 15

that is the numerator

Answer 16

soits 20/??
