Question

Abigail volunteers as a gift wrapper at a children's bookstore during the holiday season. She can gift wrap a book in 3.5 minutes. Let t be the total number of books she wraps, and let m be the total minutes she spends wrapping. The equation m=3.5t represents this situation. Graph the equation.

Answer 1

3.5 is the slope (how long it takes for her to wrap a book)
t is the number of books she wraps
So 3.5t is the total number of minutes she spends wrapping or m

For example on the graph
If she wraps 6 books then she spends a total of 21 minutes wrapping books because 3.5(6) is 21.
