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 = 1000z + 6000
A. 1000
B. 6000
The function is in the form Y = 1000z + 6000, where Y represents the number of parking spots in the local town x years from now. The coefficient of z is 1000, indicating that for every additional year, the number of parking spots increases by 1000.
To find the number of spots right now, we can let x=0. Plugging x=0 into the equation, we get:
Y = 1000(0) + 6000 = 6000
Therefore, there are currently 6000 parking spots right now. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 6000.
