The newspaper in Haventown had a circulation of 80,000 papers in the year 2000. In 2010, the circulation was 50,000. With x = 0 representing the year 2000, the graph below models this scenario.What number will complete the point-slope equation that models this scenario?

y -50,000 =______(x -10)

A.) -3,000
B.) -2,000
C.) 2,000
D.) 3000

A Point-Slope equation of a straight line has this form: y - y1 = m(x-x1)We can recognize any points of the graph.(0,80000) ; (10,50000)Given:y -50,000 =______(x -10)We need to find the slope.Slope = Change in y / Change in x = 80,000 - 50,000 / 0 - 10 = 30,000 / -10 = -3,000The slope is equal to -3000. Choice A.y -50,000 = -3,000(x -10)...
