Olivia is growing roses and keeps track of how much fertilizer (in ounces) she adds to the soil and how many blooms each rose bush has. she finds a linear relationship that can be modeled by the equation y = 1.345x + 4. what does the 1.345 mean in the context of the problem?

It is the number of blooms per ounce of fertilizer added.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is written in slope-intercept form, y = mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The slope describes the rate of change between the dependent and independent values.  In this problem, the amount of fertilizer is thought to change the number of blooms; this means the amount of fertilizer is the independent variable and the number of blooms is the dependent variable.  This makes the slope the number of blooms per ounce of fertilizer added.

In our problem, the number beside x, the slope, is 1.345.  This makes it the slope.
