Interpret the y intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers. With the coordinates A (2,5) and B (1,6).
(2 points)
The y-intercept is cookie(s) ?. The slope is ? cookie(s) every ? day(s)
The y-intercept is 7 cookies, which means that the initial number of cookies (y) is 7 when the number of days (x) is 0.
To find the slope, we need to calculate the rate of change between points A (2,5) and B (1,6).
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (6 - 5) / (1 - 2)
Slope = 1 / -1
Slope = -1
Therefore, the slope is -1 cookie every 1 day.
Use the table to answer the question.
х (time in years): 0, 2, 4
y (height of tree in feet): 3, 6, 9
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 ? feet. The slope is ? feet every ? year(s).
To find the y-intercept and slope, we need to use the given data points and calculate the values.
Let's use points (0,3) and (2,6) to find the y-intercept and slope.
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 0)
Slope = 3 / 2
Slope = 1.5
The slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year.
To find the y-intercept, we can use the point (0,3) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b
3 = 1.5(0) + b
3= b
Therefore, the y-intercept is 3 feet, which means the tree was initially 3 feet tall.
The slope and the how many year(s) is wrong.
My apologies for the error. Let's correct the interpretation using the correct values from the table provided:
Given data points:
- (0, 3)
- (2, 6)
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 0)
Slope = 3 / 2
Slope = 1.5
The slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year.
To find the y-intercept, we can use the point (0, 3) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b
3 = 1.5(0) + b
3= b
Therefore, the y-intercept is 3 feet, which means the tree was initially 3 feet tall.
I apologize for the oversight in the interpretation of the slope. Thank you for pointing it out.
The slope is not 1.5 feet and its not every 1 year.
My apologies for the error, let's correct the interpretation using the correct values from the table provided:
Given data points:
- (0, 3)
- (2, 6)
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 0)
Slope = 3 / 2
Slope = 1.5
The slope is 1.5 feet every 2 years.
To find the y-intercept, we can use the point (0, 3) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b
3 = 1.5(0) + b
3 = b
Therefore, the y-intercept is 3 feet, which means the tree was initially 3 feet tall.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I appreciate your understanding.
The slope is not 1.5 feet
My sincerest apologies for the errors in the previous responses. Let's correct the interpretation using the correct values from the table provided:
Given data points:
- (0, 3)
- (2, 6)
Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Slope = (6 - 3) / (2 - 0)

Slope = 1.5
The slope is 1.5 feet every 2 years.
To find the y-intercept, we can use the point (0, 3) and substitute it into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation: y = mx + b
3 = 1.5(0) + b
3= b
Therefore, the y-intercept is 3 feet, which means the tree was initially 3 feet tall.
I appreciate your patience, and thank you for pointing out the errors.
