Question

A car manufacturer is reducing the number of incidents with the transmission by issuing a voluntary recall. During week 3 of the recall, the manufacturer fixed 391 cars. In week 13, the manufacturer fixed 361 cars. Assume that the reduction in the number of cars each week is linear. Write an equation in function form to show the number of cars seen each week by the mechanic.

f(x) = 3x + 400
f(x) = 3x + 391
f(x) = −3x + 391
f(x) = −3x + 400

Answer 1

Explanation:

ui

Answer 2

Answer: f(x)=-3x+400

Explanation:

The starting value is not 391 because the point for 391 is (3,391) we are looking for (0,?) for the value of b in the equation y=Mx+b. The graph is decreasing constantly so m has a negative value of 3.
