Big John weighs 300 pounds and is going on a diet where he'll lose 3 pounds per week. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent this situation.
y = -3x + 300
- The slope intercept form is y = mx + b
- y is John's weight
- x is the number of weeks
- A 3 pound per week weight loss means -3 as the coefficient m
- b = 300, John's starting weight
y = -3x + 300
