Weather the equation y=0.2x +3.5 can be used to find the amount of accumulated snow y in inches x hours after 5 p. m. on a certain day. identify the slope and y- intercept of the graph of the equation and explain what each represents.

Slope (m) = 0.2 and y-intercept (b) = 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given weather equation y=0.2x +3.5 for finding the amount of accumulated snow y in inches x hours after 5 P.M. on a certain day.

We need to identify the slope and y- intercept of the graph of the equation .

Let us compare given equation y=0.2x +3.5 by slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

Slope (m) = 0.2 and y-intercept (b) = 3.5.

large crystals result from very slow cooling.

evaporation of water: this would produce an evaporite which is a sedimentary rock. like a salt pan in a desert. not possible to have volcanic rocks originate this way.

crystalization in molten earth: slow cooling over time. (hundreds to millions of years)

crystalization at earth's surface: this results in fast cooling. (a few hours to a few months or years)

crystalization from cooling off hot water: that would be a hydrothermal deposit. while associated with volcanics they are not volcanic rocks themselves and usually occur fairly rapidly.
