Help ASAP!!! A cayenne pepper stalk produces 4 peppers without adding fertilizer. The agriculture department establishes that th
e number of pods produced can be increased by adding fertilizer to the soil. The linear relationship between the number of pepper pods produced and the amount (ounces) of fertilizer added can be modeled by y = 2.5x + 4.
1. Interpret the slope of the equation
2. Interpret the y-intercept of the equation
3. How many pepper pods can be expected after adding 1.6 ounces of fitilizer to the soil?
For the each of them simply substitute for x in each equation to see if you get the corresponding y , it doesnt really get any more straightforward than this
