Question 841431: Melinda is spending money at the average rate of $6 per day. After 24 days she has $58 left. The amount left depends on the number of days that have passed. Write an equation for the situation in point slope form.

"slope" (measured in dollars/day) = -6 because she is assumed to spend $6/day.

Point (24,58) --> eq. is M - 58 = -6(D - 24), where D is days and M is the amount of money Melinda has.
