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).
I apologize for the oversight. Let's recalculate the y-intercept using the given points (1,6) and (2,5).
To find the slope:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (5 - 6) / (2 - 1)
slope = -1 / 1
slope = -1
Given the slope is -1 cookie(s) every 1 day(s).
Now, we can use the slope and one of the given points to find the y-intercept. Let's use the point (1,6):
y = mx + b
6 = -1(1) + b
6 = -1 + b
b = 6 + 1
b = 7
Therefore, the y-intercept is 7 cookie(s), and the slope is -1 cookie(s) every 1 day(s).
The y-intercept is the initial number of cookies, or the starting point before any days have passed.
The slope represents the rate at which the number of cookies changes with each day. For example, if the slope is 2 cookies every 3 days, this means that for every 3 days that pass, 2 more cookies are made or eaten.
The most simplified rate using whole numbers is in the form of "cookies every day."
thats wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Could you please provide the specific context or situation, so I can accurately interpret the y-intercept and slope for you?
Interpret the y-intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers.
The y-intercept is __ cookie(s). The slope is __ cookie(s) every __ day(s).
In this situation, the y-intercept represents the initial number of cookies, or the starting point before any days have passed. It is the value of the y-coordinate when the number of days is 0.
The slope represents the rate of change in the number of cookies per day. It shows how the number of cookies changes with each passing day.
Please provide the specific values so that we can calculate and complete the blanks.
(1,6)
(2,5)
To find the slope, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the points (1,6) and (2,5):
slope = (5 - 6) / (2 - 1)
slope = -1 / 1
slope = -1
Therefore, the slope is -1 cookie every 1 day.
At the point (1,6), the y-intercept is 6 cookies.
So, the y-intercept is 6 cookie(s), and the slope is -1 cookie(s) every 1 day(s).
