@SydtheKid913 @StudyGurl14 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate of change would be 80?

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

so in this case you would use the same rise over run formula for slope but it would be negative :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

initle value would be 100?

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

do you mean *initial? in that case yes but the rate of change is the slope remember? so how many songs is it decreasing by every week?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

initial, sorry haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would decrease by 20 each week

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

there you go :D so that is the rise what is the run?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill shoot random guesses, 5? 100?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

100 is already the initial value, so im guessing 5

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

nope how many weeks is it increasing by every block? Oh and I forgot to tell you that the rise of 20 is actually -20 because it has a negative slope :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill post you my part A answer and we'll see if its right

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

ok :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The rate of change is 20, and the initial value is 100. The rate of change represents how many songs is downloaded per week, and the initial value represents how many songs has to be downloaded.

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

good job that looks right to me! let's see if we can get a second opinion I'm still not to sure about the whole "initial value" deal @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

@TheSmartOne @suckerofmath @sleepyjess

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

I don't think they're going to come but I believe that's right I'd give it a shot

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Hold on while i check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright ;)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Looks good, except the rate of change is -20, not 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about part B?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

y= mx + b m = slope (rate of change) b = initial value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, thank you so much again syd and study :D

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -20x + 100?

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

:) Oops I forgot about the - sign O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were closer to the answer than me XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is y = -20x + 100 right? :D

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sweet, I might have ONE more question, ill try to figure it out on my own, if i need help ill post it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks again guys, yall are LIFE SAVERS

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

lool :P thx I try

OpenStudy (sydthekid913):

OMG 4 more medals and I get a title O.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):
