Aschool system is reducing the amount of dumpster loads of trash removed each week. in week 5, there were 40 dumpster loads of waste removed. in week 10, there were 30 dumpster loads removed. assume that the reduction in the amount of waste each week is linear. write an equation in function form to show the amount of trash removed each week. a. f(x) = - 2x + 40 b. f(x) = 2x + 40 c. f(x) = - 2x + 50 c. f(x) = 2x + 50

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is

i believe your answer is 99.7% of 7-year-old children are between 46.6 inches and 49.5 inches tall.
