In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
The expectation would be that the player would not get much money. 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 does not get a lot due to the entrance fee of $3. 20 - 3 = 17. 5 - 3 = 2.
260,880 as (2 times 100,000)+(6 times 10,000)+(8 times 100).
here Sophia must consider 80 as 8 times 10
so that complete expression becomes
260,880 = (2 times 100,000)+(6 times 10,000)+(8 times 100)+(8 times 10)
