Answer 4

I can take a screenshot if that would help @texaschic101

Answer 5

that might help, if you don't mind

Answer 6

Alright, hold on~

Answer 7

that would be graph 3....he is starting at 6.....coming down 1.25 each time he pays the toll

Answer 8

The answer is C?

Answer 9

I don't see a C..but it is the 3rd graph

Answer 10

Could you explain? ;w; I'm completely confused.. And could I ask another question ?

Answer 11

let me check again...hold on

Answer 12

I think i guessed that the 1st try and I think i got it wrong

Answer 13

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(0,6)...x1 = 0 and y1 = 6
(8,-4)...x2 = 8 and y2 = -4
now we sub
slope = (-4 - 6) / (8 - 0)
slope = -10/8
slope = - 5/4 or -1 1/5 or - 1.25

I found it..sorry about that..it is graph D, or the last graph, because the slope is -1.25 and thats what you want

Answer 14

what you needed to do was to use the slope formula, and plug in 2 sets of points.
And when you work it out, it comes out to -1.25....you want it to be a negative slope because he is paying money, not getting money.

Answer 15

Did I just totally confuse the hell out of you ??

Answer 16

or are you kind of understanding this

Answer 17

Wait hold on I'm sorry parents were fighting
