Question

Answer the following questions about slope and y-intercept.

1. The y-value of the point at which a graph crosses the y-axis is called the
3. Clarissa really likes chocolate. She starts with a pile of 25 pieces of chocolate, which she
eats at a rate of 1 piece every 10 seconds.
​

Answer 1

1. The y-intercept

2. The slope of the equation represent the relationship between the time duration in which Clarissa eats chocolate is 1/10

Explanation:

1. The value of the y coordinate at the point which the graph meets the y-axis is called to the y-intercept. It is the value at which the x-coordinate is equal to zero, that is, the coordinate of the point at the y-intercept = (y, 0)

2. Given that Clarissa eats 1 piece of chocolate every 10 seconds, we have the slope of the equation represent the relationship between the time duration in which Clarissa eats chocolate is 1/10.
