The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a straight line is given as:
y = mx + b; where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (that is value of y at x = 0).
a) From the graph, we can see that the straight line touches the y axis at $100 in which the temperature is 0 degrees. Therefore the y intercept is:
(0, 100)
b) The slope of the line can be gotten by taking two points that the line passes through. Using the points (0, 100) and (12, 500):
Answer:
Given that:
where
L(t) represents the length of each day(in minutes) and t represents the number of days.
Substitute the value of L(t) = 750 minutes we get;
Subtract 728 from both sides we get;
Divide both sides by 52 we get;
or
Simplify:
or
Simplify:
days
Therefore, the first day after the spring equinox that the day length is 750 minutes, is 25 days
