Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation: the other dude is right, he just didnt change y to f(x) (f of x).

Answer 2

y = -3x + 60

Explanation:

For the answer to the question above,

let x = number of weeks let y = amount of waste.

The linear equation may be expressed as,y = mx + b

m and b are the slope and y - intercept, respectively. Substituting the corresponding values,

(Week 5) 45 = 5m + b

(Week 10) 30 = 10m + b

Solving for m and b gives the values as m = -3 and b = 60. Thus, the equation is

y = -3x + 60
