Interpret the y
-intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers.
(2 points)
The y
-intercept is
cookie(s). The slope is
cookie(s) every
day(s).
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which in this case represents the initial amount of cookies.
The slope is the rate of change of cookies per day. So for every day that passes, the amount of cookies increases by the slope amount.
To simplify the rate using whole numbers, we would need to know the specific values of the y-intercept and slope provided in the context of the situation. Without that information, we cannot give a specific simplified rate using whole numbers.
