owen found that he could use the equation y=-3x+24 to model the water leaking from his bottle.
\n" ); document.write( "1) what is the slope?
\n" ); document.write( "It's in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "2) what is the y-intercept?
\n" ); document.write( "It's in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "b = 24
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "3) what would have to happen to the bottle in order to change the slope to -4
\n" ); document.write( "The rate of leakage would increase.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
