Question

The soda machine contains 225 sodas at capacity. On average 15 drinks get dispensed per day.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the total number of sodas in the vending machine in days.

Answer 1

Answer: y = -15x + 225

Explanation:

slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

The 225 is the starting amount.

x is the number of days since the machine was loaded.

-15 is the amount subtracted on average per day. It is the slope, m

y is the number of sodas left in the machine
