Answer 1

Answer:

5) Part A: The rate of change, also known as the slope, is the "0.6x" part of the equation. It means that for every week the puppy is alive, x, that number is multiplied by 0.6 pounds.

Part B: The y-intercept is 4 pounds, which represents a puppy being 4 pounds at birth.

Part C: y = 0.6x + 4

y = 0.6(8)+4

y = 8.8

At 8 weeks, a puppy is estimated to be 8.8 pounds.

Part D: y = 0.6x + 4

22 = 0.6 + 4

-4              -4

18 = 0.6x

18/0.6 = 0.6x/0.6

30 = x

It would take a puppy 30 weeks to reach 22 pounds.
