kyra has a rock collection. when she puts her rocks into 2 equal piles, there are no rocks left over. when she puts her rocks in
to 3 equal piles, there are still no rocks left over. when she puts her rocks into 4 equal piles, there are still no rocks left over. How many rocks could Kyra have?
Given the equation of a line of the form: y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. y is the dependent variable while x is the independent variable.
The value c represents the initial value of the situation represented by the line. i.e. the value of the dependent variable (y) when the independent variable (x) is 0.
The value m is the slope and represents the amount with hich the dependent variable increases for each additional increase in the value of the independent variable.
Thus, given the equation: <span>y=11.984x+15.341, where: y represents the total number of shorts sold each day, and x represents the day’s high temperature in °F.
The slope is 11.984 or approximately 12 and it represents the increase in the number of shorts sold for each additional increase in temperature.
Therefore, </span><span>the slope of the equation represents in context of the situation that '</span><span>The vendors will sell an additional 12 pairs of shorts for every 1° increase in temperature.' (option B)</span>
