To find the correct equation, we need to look at the rate at which the number of pages remaining is decreasing.
From the table, we can see that the number of pages remaining is decreasing by 40 pages every hour. This means that there is a constant rate of change of -40 pages per hour.
Therefore, the equation that represents this relationship is:
N = -40t + 360
So, the correct answer is:
B. N = -40t + 360
Monique is reading a book. The table shows how the number of pages remaining in the book is changing over time.
READING A BOOK
Time (hours) Number of Pages Remaining
0 360
1 320
2 280
3 240
4 200
Which equation describes the relationship between t, the time in hours, and N, the number of pages remaining in the book?
A. N=-40t-360
B. N=-40t+360
C. N=40t+360
D. N=40t-360
