Catherine needs to sell boxes of cookies as a fundraiser for a team. She starts with 135 boxes and begins selling at a constant rate of 15 boxes each day. Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the number of boxes of cookies Catherine has left to sell from the time she begins selling until the cookies are gone.

Question
Answer:
For this case, what you should do is graph the equation of the line that best suits the problem.
 We have then that
 y = mx + b
 She starts with 135 boxes
 b = 135
 begins at a constant rate of 15 boxes each day
 m = -15
 Therefore, the equation of the line is
 y = -15x + 135
 answer
 See attached graphic:
 The cookies are finished on the day number 9
 For that day Catherine has sold 135 boxes of cookies.
