Question

The slope of the line is ???the y-intercept of the line is ???the linear function is ???

Answer 1

Given:

The rate of fluid = 300 ml

After 2 hours fluid = 1400 ml

Required:

Find the slope, y-intercept of the line, and linear function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of the fluid = 300 ml

So the slope m = -300

The fluid after 2 hours = 1400

So the value of y = 1400

and the value of x = 2S

Now the linear equation becomes:

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ 1400=-300(2)+b \\ 1400=-600+b \\ b=1400+600 \\ b=2000 \end{gathered}`

Substitute the value of m and m in equation y=mx+b.

`y=-300x+2000`

Final Answer:

Slope Sm = -300

yinear equation 1400=2m+b

Y- intercept =2000

y=-300x+2000
