Answer:
(c) Paul's model predicts a score of 51 for 3 hours
(d) 30 represents the y intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = 7x + 30[/tex]
Solving (c): What is y when x is 3
Substitute 3 for x in [tex]y = 7x + 30[/tex]
[tex]y = 7*3 + 30[/tex]
[tex]y = 21 + 30[/tex]
[tex]y = 51[/tex]
Solving (d): What does 30 represent
An equation is represented as:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where
[tex]b = y\ intercept[/tex]
Compare: [tex]y = mx + b[/tex] to [tex]y = 7x + 30[/tex]
[tex]b = 30[/tex]
This implies that 30 represents the y intercept
