Question

For a party at LaMarge Inn, the hostess created a single welcome display with 20 flowers, along with a 10-flower centerpiece on each table. This can be represented by the equation y = 10x + 20

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope:  Number of flowers per centerpiece.

Output: Number of flowers

Input: Number of centerpieces

Y-Intercept: Number of flowers in welcome display

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope: Slope is the rise over run, which means that it is going to be a number. This is usually attached to your x value. So your slope will be 10/1, or your number of flowers per centerpiece.

Output: This is going to be your y value, or what everything else equals. This will be your number of flowers overall, in each centerpiece plus the welcome display.

Input: This will be the number that you put into the equation to get your answer, or total number of flowers. Your input will be your number of centerpieces.

Y-Intercept: This is your last value added onto the end, or your 20. This is the number of flowers in the welcome display.
