To find out Mr. Brown's salary after teaching for 3, 4, and 5 years, we can use the function provided:
\[ s = 1,500y + 40,000 \]
where \( s \) is the total salary and \( y \) is the number of years taught.
For \( y = 3 \):
\[
s = 1,500(3) + 40,000 = 4,500 + 40,000 = 44,500
\]
For \( y = 4 \):
\[
s = 1,500(4) + 40,000 = 6,000 + 40,000 = 46,000
\]
For \( y = 5 \):
\[
s = 1,500(5) + 40,000 = 7,500 + 40,000 = 47,500
\]
Thus, the points representing Mr. Brown's salary after those years are:
(3, 44,500)
(4, 46,000)
(5, 47,500)
The correct choice is:
(3, 44,500), (4, 46,000), and (5, 47,500).
Question
1. A snowstorm took place during the weekend. Meteorologists tracked the total amount of snowfall for the storm. For the first 2 hours, it snowed at a rate of 1 inch per hour. The snow stopped for an hour and a half, then resumed at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour for the next 3 hours. Based on this information, what quantity should be represented on the y-axis?(1 point)

Based on the scenario provided, the y-axis should represent the total accumulation of snow over time. Since the question discusses snowfall and tracks the total amount of snowfall during the storm, the most appropriate quantity to represent on the y-axis would be:
total snowfall
This accurately reflects the data being collected regarding the total inches of snow accumulated throughout the duration of the storm.
