Question

The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby, months after birth can be modeled bythe equation. W=11+21.What is the y-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in thecontext of the problem?A)B)2; represents the weight of baby when born11; represents the pounds per month2; represents the pounds per month11; represents the weight of baby when bornD)

Answer 1

Given the equation of the weight :

`W=11+2\cdot r`

Where r is the months after born and W is the weight

So, the y - intercept = 11

And 2 represents represents the pounds per month

And 11 represents the weight of baby when born
