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: <u>Archimedes</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Length: 14 feet Width: 1 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the only way to have a rectangle that has a perimeter of 30 feet, and an area of 14 feet.
For perimeter:
14 + 14 = 28
1 + 1 = 2
2 + 28 = 30
These dimensions have a perimeter of 30.
For area:
14 x 1 = 14
These dimesnions also have an area of 14.
So, 14 and 1 are the correct dimensions!
Answer:
(-4, 2), (-1, -3), (2,0), (4,3).
