Answer:
1) Slope-intercept form
2) 9200
3) 2 months
4) (0,200)
Step-by-step explanation:
A shelter had 200 animals in foster homes at the beginning of spring and the number of animals in foster homes at the end of the summer could be represented by
y=3000x+200 ............ (1)
Where x is the number of months and y is the number of animals.
1) The equation (1) is written in the slope-intercept form of a straight line equation.
2) After 3 months means x = 3 and the number of animals in the foster home after 3 months will be (3000 ×3 + 200) = 9200 (Answer)
3) Let after x months the animal population will become 6200.
So, 6200 = 3000x + 200
⇒ 3000x = 6000
⇒ x = 2 months (Answer)
4) If we put x = 0 in equation (1), then we get y = 200.
So, (0,200) is a point on the graph of the line. (Answer)
