SOLUTION: Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable. 1) The linear function f(x)= -5.9x

Question 1066822: Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.
1) The linear function f(x)= -5.9x+22 models the percentage of people, f(x), who eat at fast food restaurants each week x years after 1998.

The slope is -5.9.
The percentage of people who eat at fast food restaurants each week is declining at 5.9% per year since 1998.
graph's independent variable is years where x=(year-1998)
