Question

Denise built a storage shed. To cut the wood, she rented a large electric saw. The equation y = 15x + 12 represents the cost, y, to rent the saw for x days.

Explain what the slope and y-intercept of the equation represent in this situation.

Answer 1

according to y=15x+12
the slope = k = 15
y - intercept = b = 12

slope : 15
y- intercept : 12
