Pls i will give you 30 points asap (d) a group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. an equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the workers picked over a period of time, in hours, is y = 2x + 15. (a) what are the slope and the y-intercept for the equation that represents the number of baskets of berries the workers picked over a period of time? (b) what are the rate of change (slope) and the initial amount (y-intercept)? explain the meaning of the rate of change and the initial amount for the situation. answer in complete sentences

In y = mx + b form, the slope can be found in the m position and the y intercept can be found in the b position.

y = mx + b

y = 2x + 15

slope(m) = 2 and y int (b) = 15

The initial amount is the y intercept, which is 15. The rate of change (the slope) is 2

example :  

baskets picked in 1 hr :

y = 2(1) + 15

y = 2 + 15

y = 17

baskets  picked in 2 hrs :

y = 2(2) + 15

y = 4 + 15

y = 19

so the slope ( rate of change) is basically saying for every hr of picking, you pick 2 baskets...so your picking 2 baskets per hr.

The y intercept (15) is telling us that they already had 15 baskets to start with.

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
