Question

PLEASE HELP (If you can help me with more problems i'll give more points)
Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form of the statement where y represents how much candy Olivia has left over. Olivia has 40 candies and eats 2 candies per day. *

Answer 1

Answer:

y= 40-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept formula: y=mx+b

y= The amount of candy Olivia has left

The word per means multiplication, which means that our 2 candies would be multiply by many days, and thus is our mx in the formula.

b= the y intercept, or our starting number. In this case is 40.

So, the amount of candies Olivia has LEFT (involves subtraction) is equal to the 40 candies to which she started with subtracted by 2 candies she eats by many days.

I hope this helps!
