Identify the slope, y-intercept, and write an equation (don't add spaces):

You and your friends go to the movies and buy a large bucket of popcorn containing 682 pieces of popcorn. As a group, you consume 40 pieces of popcorn every minute.

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

Equation: 682 = 40x
Slope = 40 (or 40/1)
Y-intercept = 0

In this case,

y = the total
x = the amount of minutes
y-intercept = 0, since there isn’t a b in the equation.
slope = 40, because y = mx + b is 682 = 40x

This should be correct, unless there is missing information in the question.

  • Consume per min=40
  • Popcorns be x

Equation of expression


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow y=40x+682

Compare to y=mx+b

  • Slope=m=40
  • Y intercept=b=682
