Question 107490: Hi please help me with this
thankyou
Mohammad makes bycical tires and is paid according to this y=1.25x, where y is his earnings and x is the number of tires he makes.
a)find the slope and its meaning

b)Find the y intercept and its meaning


Answer by solver91311(24713)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your equation is already in the slope-intercept form,



where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In the case of



the value of the intercept is 0.

The slope in this case is just the coefficient on the x term, or 1.25. That means that Mohammad makes $1.25 for every tire he makes, and, since the slope is positive, the more work he does, the more money he makes.

The intercept in this case is zero, so any time Mohammad takes a vacation day and doesn't make any tires at all, his pay for that day is also zero.
