A. y=2.50× +2.65
B. y= 2.65 (× + 2.50)
C. y= 2.65× - 2.50
D. y= 2.65× + 2.50
plz help

Answer 1

I think the answer is D. your welcome

Answer 2

The slope-intercept form is:

`y = mx+b`

Where m is the slope, and b is the initial value. We can model the above scenario by:

`y = 2.65x + 2.50`

So, the answer is D. Remember, that the slope is the value that changes over time and 'b' never changes - it's the initial value and it's constant.
