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>
Answer:
$0.85 per tomato
Step-by-step explanation:
A unit rate is the cost for one item. Like $0.99 for this one bag of skittles.
So $3.40 divided by four is $0.85.
We will evaluate both expressions step by step.
Sylvia's espression:
h + 0.05h
h: Original hat price.
0.05h: Increase of 5% due to sales tax.
Jin's expressions:
1.05h
h: Original hat price.
1.05: Factor for which you must multiply the original price to add 5% due to sales tax.
