Use the image to answer the question. A graph shows a horizontal axis representing time in days ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The vertical axis represents cookies in a jar ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. Two plotted points are: left parenthesis 1 comma 6 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 5 right parenthesis. These points are joined by a straight line with arrows on both the ends; the straight line continues beyond the two points until it intercepts the horizontal axis and the vertical axis. Interpret the y -intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers. (2 points)

The y -intercept is ___ cookie(s). The slope is ___ cookie(s) every ___ day(s).

The y-intercept is 8 cookies.

The slope is -1 cookie every 1 day.

The y-intercept is wrong, its not 8

Apologies for the oversight. The correct interpretation is:

The y-intercept is 8 cookies.
The slope is -1 cookie every 1 day.

the answer is:

The y-intercept is 7 cookie(s). The slope is -1 cookie(s) every 1 day(s).

Thank you for the correction. Here is the accurate interpretation:

The y-intercept is 7 cookies.
The slope is -1 cookie every 1 day.
