interpret this function:
the number of parking spots (y) in the local town (x) years from now can be modeled by the equation below. how many spots are there right now?
y = 1000x + 6000
answers:
1000
6000
The equation y = 1000x + 6000 represents a linear relationship between the number of parking spots (y) in the local town and the number of years from now (x). According to the equation, for every one year in the future, the number of parking spots increases by 1000.
To find the number of parking spots right now, we need to set x = 0 in the equation:
y = 1000(0) + 6000
y = 0 + 6000
y = 6000
Therefore, the number of parking spots right now is 6000.
