Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear function is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the form:
f (x) = m*x + b or y=m*x + b
where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.
The slope m measures the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis, that is, the x axis. According to the value of the slope m, the linear function can be increasing if m> 0, decreasing if m <0 or constant if m = 0.
You know that the number of sea turtle deaths per year is modeled by f(x) = 13.42x + 109.118. Then the value of the slope is 13.42. In this scenario, the slope indicates that the number of deaths of sea turtles grows in a proportion of 13.42 with respect to the pollution index of the bay.
W=1/42 hope this helps! XD
X^4 because it has 4 zeroes ( the graph crosses the x axis 4 times
