The table shows the estimated number of bees, y, in a hive x days after a pesticide is released near the hive.

A 2-column table with 6 rows. The first column is labeled number of days with entries 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. The second column is labeled estimated number of bees with entries 10,000; 7,500; 5,600; 4,200; 3,200; 2,400.

Which function best models the data?

y = 9,958 (0.972) x

y = 0.972 (9,958) x

y = 9,219x - 150

y = - 150x + 9,219
