The lowest elevations of Argentina and Peru are both below sea level. The lowest elevation in Argentina is about $345$ feet below sea level. The lowest elevation in Peru is about $\frac{1}{3}$ the value of Argentina’s lowest elevation.

Which value best represents the lowest elevation, in feet, in Peru?

the answer is c.

for continuous functions, they continue in the same pattern and you have to find that pattern kinda like slope

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
