Based on the difference in months, Jake has about 4.8 months to set up his site.
In Mathematics and Geometry, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line refers to the general equation of a linear function and it is represented by this mathematical equation;
y = mx + b
Where:
- m represents the slope or rate of change.
- x and y are the points.
- b represents the y-intercept or initial value.
Based on the information provided, an equation that models the situation is given by;
y = -2,129.75x + 21,028.35
Note: 1 year is equal to 12 months.
Since Jake can expect to have 1,000 members left in his band after 9.4 years and he's already been out of the band for 9 years, we would determine the number of months by converting the number of years to months and then find the difference;
9.4 years to months = 9.4 × 12 = 112.8 months
9 years to months = 9 × 12 = 108 months.
Difference in months = 112.8 - 108
Difference in months = 4.8 months.
