Y-intercept is 100 and slope is 5. Partner gave example: Younger brother had 100 small building blocks, but lost 5 of them every month since. What mistake did Partner make?

since he lost 5 every month, it should be that the slope is -5, not 5, he is not gaining 5 every month


yint is 100 and slope is -5 would be correct
b=-5m+100
b=number of blocks he has after m months
