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:
both
Step-by-step explanation:
$3x2=$6(for hamburgers) and $2x2=$4(basket of fries.)
M + f + a = 82
m = 7a + 1
f = 1/2m.....f = 1/2(7a + 1).....f = 3.5a + 0.5
7a + 1 + 3.5a + 0.5 + a = 82
11.5a + 1.5 = 82
11.5a = 82 - 1.5
11.5a = 80.5
a = 80.5 / 11.5
a = 7......7 adults
m = 7a + 1
m = 7(7) + 1
m = 49 + 1
m = 50 <=== 50 male students
f = 1/2m
f = 1/2(50)
f = 25 <=== 25 female students
