At the beginning of the school year, teachers
have 240,000 sheets of copier paper to use. If
about 2,000 sheets of paper are used each day
during a school year, which equation best
describes s, the number of sheets that are left
after d days of school? Write the linear model
in slope-intercept form.

Answer:

[tex]s=-2000d+240000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial number of sheets, [tex]s_{o}=240000[/tex]

Sheets used per day = 2000

∴ Sheets used in [tex]d[/tex] days, [tex]s_{d}=2000d[/tex]

Therefore, sheets left after [tex]d[/tex] days is given as:

[tex]s=s_{o}-s_{d}\\s=240000-2000d\\s=-2000d+240000[/tex]

Therefore, the number of sheets that are left after [tex]d[/tex] days of school in slope-intercept form is [tex]s=-2000d+240000[/tex], where, slope is -2000 and y-intercept is 240000.
