Question

Farmer Rew started with 10 alabers on his farm. Every day, he

collected 6 more of them. Farmer Vreel started with 55 alabers on her
farm. Every day, she squashed 3 more of them.
Write a system of equations, in slope-intercept form, to model each
farmer's alabers V) as days (x) increase.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• V = 6x +10
• V = -3x +55

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is ...

y = mx + b

where b is the starting value and m is the change per day.

Rew starts with 10 and changes by +6 per day.

V = 6x +10

Vreel starts with 55 and changes by -3 per day.

V = -3x +55

Additional comment

As in the equation showing the slope-intercept form, "y" is often the variable used for the dependent variable. Your problem statement here specifies it should be V, so that is what we used.
