PART A) the initial value of the function is 150 at 0
weeks, that means that there are still 150 songs to be downloaded at the
beginning.
The rate of change is -30 songs each week, that is because the amount of songs
left to be downloaded decrease by 30 each week.
PART B:
lets use 2 points of the graph p1(0, 150), p2(1, 120)
calculate the slope:
m = (y2- y1)/(x2 - x1) = (120 - 150)/(1 - 0)
m = -30
and now use line equation in form point-slope:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 150 = -30(x - 0)
y = -30x + 150
2nd picture: for bushels of corn
Part A, looking at the line in the graph, you can see the line falls on 2 bushes cost $16, 4 bushels cost $31, etc., using that information you can calculate that 1 bushel of corn costs $8, ( 16/2 = 8, 32/4 = 8)
PART B
using the table for previous years you can calculate corn cost $6 a bushel ( 12/2=6)
so corn cost $2 more this year.
