Question

Ariel wants to write 8 entries for her blog. After 2 hours, she has 5 entries left. After 4 hours, she has 2 entries left. Which graph represents Ariel's remaining entries? (2 points)

graph of line going through (0, 0) with a slope of 1.5

graph of line going through (0, 0) with a slope of 3

graph of line going through (0, 8) with a slope of negative 1.5

graph of line going through (0, 8) with a slope of negative 3

Answer 1

Hi and welcome to QuestionCove
So, according to the question, Ariel writes 3 blog entries every 2 hours. That means she writes 1.5 blog entries every 1 hour.
Now, since the number of blog entries remaining starts at 8, we want a graph with a y-intercept of (0, 8).
So, option 3 would be the best choice, since it shows that the number of blog entries remaining starts at 8, then decreases by 1.5 each hour.
