The newspaper in Haventown had a circulation of 80,000 papers in the year 2000. In 2010, the circulation was 50,000. With x = 0 representing the year 2000, the graph below models this scenario.



What number will complete the point-slope equation that models this scenario?

y 50,000 = (x 10)

-3000 is correct
Hope this helps :D

Answer:

-3000

Explanation:

The missing number is the slope of the line.

To calculate the slope, we use the formula

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Using the points (0, 80000) and (10, 50000) [remember, the year 2000 is at x = 0; this means the year 2010 would be at x=10] we have:

m = (50000-80000)/(10-0) = -30000/10 = -3000

The missing number, the slope, is -3000.
