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?

He should have said that his small brother had 100 small building bricks, but lost 5 in total now.
