Nicole is making wallets for her friends out of colorful duct tape. As she pulls tape from the roll, the amount of duct tape she has left decreases.

This situation can be modeled as a linear relationship.

Answer:

Don’t exactly understand this. Yes, the amount of duct tape left as Nicole makes wallets can be modeled as a linear relationship, where the duct tape decreases at a constant rate as she uses it to make wallets. This can be represented by a straight line equation in the form of y = mx + b, where y is the amount of duct tape left, x is the number of wallets made, m is the rate at which the duct tape decreases, and b is the initial amount of duct tape.
