Answer 1

old question but will respond to help out future users

treat the cards sold as the independent variable x, and the amount needed as the dependenet variable y. generating points from this, you'll get (10, 875), (20, 795), etc. and plot the points

alternatively: notice how the as the x values increase, the y-values decrease. what kind of slope is this?
