The water level of a river is 170feet. The river recedes 4 feet each year. Ingrid claims that the equation that represents this scenario is y=170x-4. Is her equation correct?

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y = mx + b, which is the form Ingrid's equation is in, the m stands for the rate of change. If the water level is decreasing, the rate at which it is decreasing is what goes in for m. The "b" of that equation indicates the starting height of the water, which is 170. The equation should be:

y = -4x + 170, negative because the water is decreasing.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct answer is

c. 4

step-by-step explanation:

the given polynomial is

the degree of the polynomial is the highest exponent which is 4.

the -4 is called the leading coefficient.

this polynomial has only one term so it is a monomial.

the correct answer is option c.
