x = # times flagged
y = score
So, y = 500 - 10x
I think the rest should be doable now ...
In 2025, a new social media site decides to focus only on negative feedback to identify possible predators or people to avoid. It allows users to flag other users who say or do something inappropriate. Each user starts with a rating of 500 and loses 10 points each time they are flagged.
a) Define the variables in the situation.
b) Write an equation to show the total number of points a user has based on the number of times he or she is flagged.
c) If a user has 330 points, how many times have they been flagged?
d) Identify and interpret the y-intercept.
