Question

A bear cub weighed 10 pounds. Each month it gains 5 pounds. Which equation correctly shows this linear relationship.

A.Y=5x +10
B.Y=10x +5
C.Y=5x-10
D.Y=10x-5

Answer 1

A. Y = 5x + 10

Explanation:

The bear gains 5 pounds a month. The X represents the months in which five pounds gradually build. This is represented by 5x. We need to add the bears original 10 pounds so Y = 5x + 10.
