Question

since Joe catches for fish today Melissa sketches to fish the amount of Joe's Fish is always greater Joe's Fish is also always twice as much as melissa's fish. Today , both melissa and joe have no fish. They both go fishing each day. Melisa catches 2 fish each day. Joe catches 4 fish each day. How many fish do they have after each of the five days? Make a graph of the number of fish. Plot the points on a coordinate plane and make a line graph, and then interpret the graph

Answer 1

The first thing you should do for this case is a function that suits the context of the problem.
 Let:
 x: number of days.
 y: number of fish trapped by melissa and Joe.
 The generic equation of the line is:
 y = mx + b
 Melisa catches 2 fish each day. Joe catches 4 fish each day. So:
 m = 6
 Today, both melissa and joe have no fish. So:
 b = 0
 In this case we have:
 y = 6x
 Looking at the graph we see that by day five, both have 30 fish.
 answer
 f (x) = 6x
 f (5) = 30
