PLEASE HELP. BE MINDFUL THAT THERE ARE 4 QUESTIONS.

Anthony has a lunch account in the school cafeteria. The balance, g(x), in his account at the beginning of the month can be represented by the function g(x) = -2.50x +32, where x is the number of meals purchased. 1. How much money was in Anthony's account at the beginning of the month? 2. What is the slope of the graph of this function? 3. What does the slope represent in the context of the problem? 4. Find g(x) when x =11. What does this pair of values mean in the context of the problem?

1. 32 $$
2. -2.5x
3. The slope is how much money is removed from the account per day after buying lunch.
4. 4.5$. This means he has 4.5 dollars left in his account after buying 11 lunches
