Question

1) In 2001, there were about 62.5 thousand golden retrievers registered in the United States. In 2002, the number was 56.1 thousand. Which linear equation best represents this information?

(A) y = 6.4x + 2001
(B) y = -6.4x + 12868.9
(C) y = 6.4x - 12743.9
(D) y = -6.4x + 2002

Answer 1

The Answer Is B y=-6.4*+12868.9

Answer 2

Linear equation is y=ax+b
Its decreasing so u need - a
2001 and 2002 would be your x at liner equation so can't have them as b
so answer is B
