Question

A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 2-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. Whenspring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 3weeks, the sheet is only 1.25 meters thick.Let y represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after 2 weeks.Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?

Answer 1

we have that

is given

the ordered pairs

(0,2) and (3,1.25)

the point (0,2) represents the y-intercept (initial value)

therefore

we have the y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept

the answer is option E
