Question

plz help no one is .. question below

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

@mathstudent55 plz help

Answer 3

@sleepyjess help :(

Answer 4

Just substitute in the numbers and see which one works out. x = 5, y = 60 x = 10 y = 40

Answer 5

i still don't get it

Answer 6

i got choice a the first time i did it

Answer 7

Substitute in 5 for x in the first equation.
y = -4(5) + 60
y = -20 + 60
y = 40
Welp, week 5 is supposed to be 60, so the first option isn't right.

Answer 8

oh i see give me a sec

Answer 9

so it's C?

Answer 10

Yep, that works with both values of x
y = -4x + 80
y = -4(5) + 80
y = -20 + 80
y = 60
That works
y = -4x + 80
y = -4(10) + 80
y = -40 + 80
y = 40
That works too
