A garden shop manager tracks the inventory of seed packets in the store for a month based on
1 answer:
Using linear function concepts, it is found that the meaning of 200 in the function P(t) is given by:
the y-intercept of the function and the initial number of seed packets at the beginning of the month.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>A linear function is modeled by:
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value.
In this problem, the function is:
.
The slope is of m = -34 and the y-intercept is of b = 200, hence the correct option is:
the y-intercept of the function and the initial number of seed packets at the beginning of the month.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify the slope.
We are given the line y=7x-5.
This is in slope intercept form or y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So, the coefficient to x, or 7 in this case, is the slope.
- m=5
Now, find the parallel and perpendicular slopes.
1. Parallel Slope
Parallel lines never intersect, so they have the same slope. A parallel line has a slope of 7.
2. Perpendicular Slope
Perpendicular slopes intersect to form right angles. They have negative reciprocal slopes.
- Negate the slope: 7⇒ -7
- Find the Reciprocal (flip the numerator and denominator: -7/1 ⇒ -1/7
A parallel line has a slope of 7 and a perpendicular line has a slope of -1/7.
