all you have to do is plug in
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
plug in...what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok soyou locate the variable x and plug it in to each answer
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
find the equation of the line between the points \((5,40)\) and \((10,30)\)
first find the slope, then use the "point slope" formula

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
oh ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
right 5, down 10 slope is \(-\frac{10}{5}=-2\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you can either use the point slope formula or just check if A or C is right by substitution
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
Is it A?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know i didn't do it

oh ok but I think so because 40 is in the problem...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
probably not because the answer is always C in a multiple choice
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
oh haha
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
on this homework it has been either B or D on all of them
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it has nothing to do with the 40
if you plug in 5 for x you should get 40

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
oh. So is it A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\((5,40)\) means \(f(5)=40\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no it is not A
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
oh
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
C?

\[f(x)=-2x+50\\
f(5)=-2\times 5+50=-10+50=40\] so C is the right one
OpenStudy (horsegirl27):
cool. Thanks for helping!
