Answer:

-22

Explanation:

The function y=400-22x is a linear equation in the form y=mx + b. Although they put "mx" after "b" so the equation doesn't start with a negative.

"m" is rate of change, or the slope if graphed.

The negative means "y" decreases as "x" increases. On a graph, it decreases left to right.
