The bottom half, you're just supposed to solve for the variable. I think.

1) x=2
2) y=6
3) m=39
4) c=10
5) x=7.1
6) a=6
7) m=24
8) y=5
9) b=33
10) n=7

I am not sure, my math teacher didn't put a title on it or anything, or explain it to us so I am clue less.

A) The relationship is linear for every same increment of change in time, the charge always increases by the same amount. So every 5 minute time increment should have the same change in charge.
B) Slope is 4/5 and y intercept is 2
C) C=(4/5)t+2

Well that's the only thing I can think of. Maybe ask your teacher tomorrow?

But, i'm off of school tomorrow cause of election day. Anyways I gotta show my work for the slope and y-intercept

Work for slope

slope = change in y/change in x
I used the points (10, 10) and (5, 6)

slope = (10-6)/(10-5)
slope = 4/5

Work for y intercept

y intercept is when x = 0
change of x is 4/5

So if y=6 when x=5,
when x=0, y should be 6-(4/5)(5)=6-4=2

Thank ya! Alright imma close the thread now that my work is finished.
