Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ;( Your teacher asked your class to describe a real-world situation in which a y-intercept is 100 and the slope is 5. Your partner gave the

following description: My younger brother originally had 100 small building blocks, but he has lost 5 of them every month since. What mistake did your partner make? Describe a real-world situation that does match the situation.

Answer 1

Okay so your partner describes a situation that has a slope of NEGATIVE 5, not positive 5 as your teacher asked.
Instead, your younger brother could have started with 100 and GAINED 5 every month, instead of losing 5.
