Question

Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of snow in a brick-like pattern. She has a maximum height for this wall in mind, and she wants to figure out how many blocks can be stacked vertically in her wall while remaining below this maximum. So, she constructs the expression 0.4x + 0.6 to measure the height of her wall, where all constants represent measurements in meters. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply. 0.4 represents the height of the wall. 0.4 represents the height of the base. 0.4 represents the height of each block. 0.6 represents the height of the wall. 0.6 represents the height of the base. 0.6 represents the height of each block.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

0.4 represents the height of each block

Step-by-step explanation:

The information given are;

Kirima first builds a firm base of a given height

Kirima is building her wall using uniformly sized bricks

the height of the wall she is building depends on the number of blocks stacked to form the wall

Therefore, variable that depends on other variable, which is the dependent variable, y, is the height of the wall

The independent, which determines the value of the dependent variable is the number of blocks added, x

The gradient of the equation is the height of each block = 0.4

The y-intercept is the starting value, which is the firm base of dimension, 0.6

Therefore, 0.4 represents the height of each block.
