Question

Chen recorded the number of texts he sent and the number of tweets he posted each day for a month. The equation y = 5x + 4,

where x is the number of texts and y is the number of tweets, models the relationship between these two quantities. Identify the
slope and explain its meaning within this context.

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between number of texts, x, and number of tweets, y, is represented in the slope-intercept form by the equation, y = 5x + 4.

The slope of this equation is 5.

In this context, the slope, 5, means 5 tweets are made for every 1 text sent each day.

This slope is positive meaning, as text sent increases, also, tweets increased.
