Question

Read each situation carefully and then complete the table and graph then describe the slope of the line USING SENTENCES :A winter storm produces snow at a rate of 3 inches per hour. The equation y=3x represents the amount of snow accumulating per hour.1) Use a table to find the points to graph for the equation .2) Graph the equation .

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the table, we can see that the storm will have a rate of 3 inches per hour, so the slope will be m=3

The equation will be:

y = 3x without y-intercept

Let's build the table:

x 0 1 2 3 4

y=3x 3*0=0 3*1=3 3*2=6 3*3=9 3*4=12

Now, we need to graph the function.
