Urgent!!! 100 points!!! Scientists at the new company bung tested their bungee cords using weights from 0 to 500 pounds. Using the data from testing, they modeled the relationship between the weight on the bungee cord and the length of the cord with the function l = 0.05w + 10 where w is the weight of the cord (in pounds) and l is the length of the cord (in feet). Identify the constant term and explain its meaning in the context of the data.

Answer:

The constant term is the weights rate of change, because the formula never changes.
