Question

HELP PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

Two ocean beaches are being affected by erosion. The table shows the width, in feet, of each beach at high tide measured where 1995 is represented by year 0.

Year number Western Beach width (in feet) Dunes Beach width (in feet)
0 100 20
5 90 45
10 80 70
11 78 75
12 76 80
15 70 95

Describe the patterns shown by the erosion data measurements shown for each of the beaches in the table.
Between which years will the beaches have approximately the same width?
Assuming these rates remain constant, what can you do to get a better approximation of when the two beaches will have the same width?

Answer 2

as the years go by western beach widths decrease while dunes beach width increases

Answer 3

Which one is exponential

Answer 4

@across

Answer 5

western beach -2 ft while dunes beach + 5ft per year

Answer 6

its not decreasing by negative 2 or increasing by 5

Answer 7

decreasing by negative 2
this is a double negative

Answer 8

decreasing by 2 sorry

Answer 9

plot the graph and see where they meet

Answer 10

Thats not what i need, i need to know which one is linear and which one is exponential

Answer 11

linear means change by a constant amount and you have a line y = mx + b format
exponential change progressively more

Answer 12

so the dunes beach is linear

Answer 13

the slope is constant plot the graphs
i still got -2 for western and + 5 for dunes both linear
