Evelina took 50 people fishing each day last week. the table shows the number of fish the group caught each day.

day fish caught
monday 203
tuesday 186
wednesday 169
thursday ?
friday 135
saturday 118

if the same pattern of a decreasing catch continued through the week, how many fish did evelina’s group catch on thursday?

they caught
fish on thursday.

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

jml angle lkj & angle mj = lm
