Question

WILL FAN AND MEDAL
I only have a few questions!

Alex had $234 in his bank account. For an entire month, Alex adds $2.10/day to the account. He graphs the money he saves versus time. He plots money saved along the vertical axis, and he plots time in days along the horizontal axis.

What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

x=0, so before the days started. (0,234)

Answer 2

wait can you explain how I do this? I'm sorry! @Fullerene

Answer 3

y int is where x=0.
x axis is days he has added money.
so y int is what he had before depositing anything
:)

Answer 4

so the answer would be.....$2.10? @Fullerene

Answer 5

No, $234, because that is what he had in the account to begin with. 2.1 is the slope

Answer 6

so the y intercept will be $234? @Fullerene

Answer 7

Yup.:)

Answer 8

i have a few more? @Fullerene

Sure. Shoot.

Answer 10

Which sketch models this situation?

(I'm posting the picture of the answers in a moment)

Answer 12

@Fullerene

Answer 13

A, because he starts at 0- the origin, and both time and distance increased.

Answer 14

one more! @Fullerene

Answer 15

:)

Answer 16

During a winter storm, snow falls at a steady rate. At the start of the storm, there was already some snow on the ground from a previous storm. Let t represent time in hours, and let s represent the number of inches of snow on the ground.

I can try.

Answer 28

@Fullerene

Answer 29

1.25

Answer 30

@Fullerene

Answer 32

so its 6 over 3? @Fullerene

Answer 33

is it? @Fullerene

no, (4-2)/(6-3)

Answer 35
