Question

Your teacher asked your class to describe a real-world situation in which a y-intercept is 120 and the slope is 6. Your partner gave the following description: My younger brother originally had 120 small building blocks, but he has lost 6 of them every month since. What mistake did your partner make? The slope is (select) V so the amount should be (select) < Complete the description of a real-world situation that does match the situation. Topened a savings account with $ a month. worth of birthday money and I (select)

Answer 1

openThe equation must be

y = 6 x + 120

The slope is 6 and the y-intercept is 120

The mistake is

He chooses a -ve slope because he said he will loss 6

Loss means (-) and the value will decrease

So the real-world situation is

I opened a saving account with $120 worth of birthday money and I have $6 a month

Choose add

They want us to correct the wrong

So we must say positive slope and increasing
