Question

You drink 8 fluid ounces of milk for breakfast every morning. Write and graph a function that relates the amount y of milk (in fluid ounces) that you drink for breakfast in x days.

Answer 1

m(x) = (8 oz/day)x oz

Explanation:

Since x measures time, in days, start your x-axis at (0,0).

The rate at which you drink milk is 8 oz/ day.

If x represents the number of days you drink milk (same amount daily), the desired equation is

m(x) = (8 oz/day)x oz
