pennies are kept in a jar the mass of the jar is 20 g the mass of each panny is 5g le t the varible p represent the total mass of and the jar. let the variable n represent the number og pennys.
1a. write an equation that represent the relation ship between mass p and n pennies
1b. what is the slope and y-intercept
No one has answered this question yet.
To find the equation that represents the relationship between the mass p and the number of pennies n, we can use the equation for total mass:
p = mass of jar + (mass of each penny * number of pennies)
In this case, the mass of the jar is given as 20g, and the mass of each penny is given as 5g. So the equation becomes:
p = 20 + (5 * n)
Now, let's solve the equation for the slope and y-intercept.
The equation is already in the form y = mx + b, where y represents the total mass p, m represents the slope, x represents the number of pennies n, and b represents the y-intercept.
Comparing the equation, we can see that the slope (m) is the coefficient of x (n), which is 5.
Therefore, the slope is 5.
Since the y-intercept (b) is the constant term in the equation, which is 20, the y-intercept is 20.
So the answer to 1b is:
Slope (m) = 5
Y-intercept (b) = 20
