Given:

The total price of apples (y) at an orchard can be calculated with the equation

y=1.25x+5

where, x is the number of pounds of apples picked.

To find:

The interpretation of slope for the given situation.

Solution:

The slope intercept form is

y=mx+b       ...(i)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We have,

y=1.25x+5        ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

m=1.25, b=5

Slope = 1.25.

We know that, y is total price of x pounds of apples picked and slope is change in y with respect to x.

Therefore, the slope of the given equation is 1.25 and it means the price increased by 1.25 for each additional pounds of apples.

H is directly proportional to the square root of p h=5.4 when p=1.44 find h when p=2.89
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

h=7.65

Step-by-step explanation:

h=k√p

k=h/√p

k=5.4/√1.44

k=4.5

h=4.5√p

when p=2.89

h=4.5√2.89

h=7.65
