Concept explainers

Equations and Inequations
Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.
Linear Functions
A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Chapter 2.2, Problem 76E

Olympic 5000-Meters The accompanying graph shows the winning time (in minutes) at the Olympic Games from 1952 to 2016 for the men's 5000-meterrun, together with a linear approximation of these data. (Data from: The WorldAlmanac and Book of Facts: 2017.)

Chapter 2.2, Problem 76E, Olympic 5000-Meters The accompanying graph shows the winning time (in minutes) at the Olympic Games

The equation for the linear approximation is y = − .0135 x + 40.32 , where x is the actual year.

What does the slope of the line represent? Why is it negative?
