Question

3) Doug began the hockey season with 64 career penalty minutes. This year he has averaged 7 penalty minutes per game. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for Doug's total penalty minutes. (1pt)

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Doug began the season with 64 career penalty minutes

This year: 7 penalty minutes per game

The slope-intercept form is given by the formula, y = mx + b

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{For Doug, we have:} \\ y=7x+64 \end{gathered}`
