In 1999 there were 4076 J. C. Penney stores and in 2010 there were 1106 stores. Write a linear equation that gives the number of stores in terms of the year. Let t = 9 represent 1999. Then predict the numbers of stores for the years 2016 and 2018. Are your answers reasonable? Explain.

i would have to say it is c.

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

chad should not have included the values (1, 2) and (3, 6) because that would mean he only had half a healing card.

answer: what do you mean
