Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a linear function is given as:
y = mx + b;
where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of variable y.
A) Since there is B bacteria in the Petri dish at 12:00 midnight and the number of bacteria increases after midnight by 25 every hour. Let h represent the time in hours and T represent the total number of bacteria, therefore the equation is:
T = 25h + B
B) Given that B = 5, h = 6, hence:
T = 25(6) + 5 = 150 + 5 = 155 bacteria
C) The equation of the graph is:
T = 25h + 5
The graph was plotted using geogebra online graphing.
