The same amount of trash from a landfill is recycled every day. the function below shows the total number of tons of trash n left in the landfill after x days. assume that new trash is not added to the landfill. n = 50000 − 1000x what does the number 1000 represent? a - amount of trash left after 1 day b - amount of trash recycled in x days c - amount of trash recycled every day d - amount of trash originally in the landfill

C - Amount of trash recycled every day

In a linear function of the form , represent the slope (or rate of change of the linear function) and represents the y-intercept; is the  independent variable and is the dependent variable.

Our function, n = 50000 − 1000x, is a linear function with , y-intercept = 50000, and y=n

In our function:

Since the rate of change our linear function is , 1000 represents the amount of trash recycled every day

50000 represents the total amount of trash originally in the landfill, so everyday you are subtracting (recycling) 1000 tons of trash from the 50000 tons of trash to be recycled.

the answer is C I just finished the test.
