Question

Phineas is the lead research scientist in a lab and responsible for ordering supplies and equipment. The lab is out of petri dishes, so Phineas orders 185 of them. The lab uses 12 petri dishes each day.

Answer 1

Is the question how long would the 185 petri dishes last because if so it would be about 15 days
Hope this helped ;)

Answer 2

The relationship is between the days that have gone by and the number of petri dishes. The point (0, 185) means that if 0 days have gone by there are 185 petri dishes. The number of petri dishes decreases by 12 each day, so the slope is –12. Use the slope-intercept form to write the equation y = –12x + 185.

Thats the actual answer from edge
