Question

Two farmers use combines to harvest corn from their fields. One farmer has 600 acres of corn; the other has 1000 acres of corn. Each farmers combine can harvest 100 acres per day. Write two equations for the number of acres y of corn NOT harvested after x number of days.

Answer 1

f(x)=-100x+600
f(x)=-100x+1000

Answer 2

@Joemike5 this is because it is linear, and it is asking you to find the acres that have not been harvested, so the slope is negative.
