There are 3 in. of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 in./h . which linear equation represents the total depth of the snow, in inches, after x hours?

There are 3 in. of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 in./h.

Initial depth of snow = 3 in.

it begins to snow 0.5 in./h. The constant rate of snow is 0.5. So slope = 0.5

Let x be the number of hours

y be the total depth of the snow

To frame linear equation we use y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept (initial depth of snow)

We know m=0.5  and b=3

Replace it in the equation

y = 0.5x + 3

The linear equation that represents the total depth of the snow(y), in inches, after x hours

is y= 0.5x + 3

y=0.5x+3

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
