Find the slope then describe what it means in terms of the rate of change of the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.
-The linear function f(x) = -5.3x + 21 models the percentage of people, f(x) , who eat at fast food restaurants each week x years after 1998.
A) m = 5.3; the percentage of people eating at fast food restaurants each week has increased at a rate of 5.3% per year after 1998.
B) m = 21; the percentage of people eating at fast food restaurants each week has increased at a rate of -5.3% per year after 1998.
C) m = 5.3; the percentage of people eating at fast food restaurants each week has increased at a rate of -5.3% per year after 1998.
D) m = -5.3; the percentage of people eating at fast food restaurants each week has decreased at a rate of -5.3% per year after 1998.
