The slope of the line that represents the data Nicholas collected is -63, and the y-intercept is 825. Explain what these represent in the context of the situation. Remember that x is the number of days, and y is the number of canned goods.
The slope of -63 represents the rate of change, meaning the soup kitchen uses 63 canned goods each day. The y-intercept of 825 represents the initial amount, meaning there were 825 canned goods at the soup kitchen on day 0.
