Question 591902: please help me solve: A dam is built on a river to create a reservoir. the water level w in the reservoir is given by the equation w=3.5t + 24 where t is the number of years since the dam was constructed and w is measured in feet . what do the slope and the y-intercept of this graph represent?

The 
intercept, aka )
, aka the value of the function at zero, is the water level when the dam was first built, i.e. in year 0. The slope is the average increase in level per year.
