Question

during a snowstorm snow falls are you concentrating is recorded by material is potato spot in the graph below Which equation models the relationship between the number of hours, x, of the snowstorm and the numbers of inches of snow, y, on the ground?

Answer 1

To find the equation of this model, we need to remember that the equation of a line can be obtained by the y-intercept b and the slope m.

We see that the y-intersept is

`b=3`

and the slope is

`m=3`

since every hour 3 mor inches of snow are added. Then, the equation that models this graph and this problem is

`y=3x+3`
