In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.
y = mx + b
y = 2x + 15
slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15
The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2
example :
baskets picked in 1 hr :
y = 2(1) + 15
y = 2 + 15
y = 17
baskets picked in 2 hrs :
y = 2(2) + 15
y = 4 + 15
y = 19
so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.
The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.
Answer:
4000 
Step-by-step explanation:
V = 1/3(Bh) where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid
B = 20(20) = 400 h = 30
V = 1/3(400)(30) = 4000
Answer:
it can be. It just depends on what you are interested in. If you are interested in a scientific field then it is an amazing way to use your time. But if you are bot interested in science, it is a waste personally.
