Question 928942: The slope of the line that represents the data Nicholas collected is -63, and the y-intercept is 825. Explain what these represent in the context of the situation. Remember that x is the number of days, and y is the number of canned goods.

the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
y = -63x + 825
Number of canned goods decreases at a rate of 63/day
That is after 13 days, canned goods are basically depleted. (13�63 = 819)
