    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.

    • 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
