Question

Which scenario best matches the linear relationship expressed in the equation y=-14x+1,700?

Answer 1

Explanation:

I’m late, but I took the test and got a 100

Answer 2

First let us take note that the equation represents a linear relationship. Recall that the slope-intercept equation of a line is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line.

Looking back at the equation, we can see that m is negative. This means that there is a decline in value of y as x increases.

To answer this, “Kent has $1,700 in his bank account and spends $14 each week.”
