Redefine the problem: Skateboard shop gets 92 wheels, puts 4 per board. Write a function to describe the number of wheels left after assembling boards.
STEP 1
Assumptions
1. Boyd starts with 92 new skateboard wheels.
2. Each skateboard requires 4 wheels.
3. The function represents the number of wheels left after assembling skateboards.
4. The function will be linear since the number of wheels decreases by a constant amount for each skateboard assembled.
STEP 2
Determine the initial number of wheels before assembling any skateboards. This is the -intercept () of the linear function.
STEP 3
Determine the slope () of the function, which represents the change in the number of wheels for each skateboard assembled.
Since 4 wheels are used for each skateboard, the number of wheels decreases by 4 for each skateboard assembled, so .
STEP 4
Write the linear function in the form using the determined slope and -intercept.
This function represents the number of new wheels Boyd has left after assembling skateboards.
