In the rule (y=125-5x), what does (5) represent?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Amount of decrease per step

In

y=125-5x

, the term

-5x

means that when

x

increases by 1, the value of

y

decreases by 5. Therefore, 5 is the amount of decrease per step. The number 125 is the initial value; a positive coefficient would indicate growth. Exam tip: In a linear rule

y=a+bx

, a negative

b

indicates decrease, and its magnitude gives the decrease per step.
