Question

Find the slope. Explain what the slope and y-intercept means for the situation. Be sure to use your labels when explaining the real-life situation.

Answer 1

Slope: 25, y-intercept: 0

Explanation:

Take any two points. I'm going to take (3, 75) and (4, 100).

How to find slope: change in y/change in x

Change in y --> 100 - 75 = 25

Change in x --> 4 - 3 = 1

25 ÷ 1 = 25.

Slope is 25

Since 3 · 25 = 75, the y-intercept is 0.

The y-intercept stands for how much money someone gets for working 0 days, so they get $0 for working/whatever situation they're in for 0 days.
