Step-by-step explanation:
y = ax + b
I see already the result (y = x/10 × 1/6), but let's go in formally.
we have multiple function points to use to officially calculate a and b.
1/6 = a×10 + b
2/3 = a×40 + b
5/6 = a×50 + b
1 2/3 = a×100 + b
let's e.g subtract equation 1 from equation 3.
4/6 = a×40 + 0
a = 4/40 / 6 = 4 / 240 = 1/60
1/6 = 10/60 + b
1/6 = 1/6 + b
b = 0
so, the function is
y = x/60
x = 25
y = 25/60 = 5/12 cups
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because 4 ft x 8 ft = 24 feet
24 feet times 12 (this is because there 12 inches in a foot)
288 inches
y = total snow accumulated
x = hours
the ground has 0.2 inches of snow before the data starts
y = 1.5x+0.2
0 hours = x = 0, so y = 0.2 inches
after 9 hours, we predict that 13.7 inches of snow will have accumulated
y = 1.5(9)+0.2 = 13.7
