Question 1070407: A helicopter takes off from the roof of a building. The graph shows the altitude of the helicopter as it rises steadily for several minutes.
A.) what does the slope and y intercept reveal about the original situation?
B.) for a similar situation, the slope is 85 and the y-intercept is 250. What can you conclude? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The slope tells you nothing about the original situation. The y-intercept tells you the height of the building if you are given a scale for the y-axis.
A slope of 85 tells you that the helicopter rose nearly straight up.
The y-intercept of 250 tells you nothing. You don't know whether the building is 250 yards, 250 feet, or 250 nanometers high.
