Question

Olivia is growing roses and keeps track of how much fertilizer (in ounces) she adds to the soil and how many blooms each rose bush has. She finds a linear relationship that can be modeled by the equation y = 1.345x + 4. What does the 1.345 mean in the context of the problem?

Answer 1

D.) That for every ounce of fertilizer she adds there is an additional 1.345 blooms on the rose bush.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Since Olivia finds a linear relationship that can be modeled by the equation y=1.345x+4 and it is being asked what is the meaning of 1.345 value. The answer is that this value is the "slope" of the linear equation on which when x is increased, the constant and fixed value will be multiplied.
