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.
Answer:
60
Step-by-step explanation:
It is really easy just subtract the money with the percentage
The value of r so the line that passes through (-5,2) and (3,r) has a slope of -1/2 is -2
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that line is passing through point (-5, 2) and (3, r)
Slope of the line is 
Need to determine value of r.
Slope of a line passing through point 
is given by following formula:
--- eqn 1
On substituting the given value in (1) we get
Hence the value of "r" is -2
Answer:
y = -6 + 2x
