Interpret the y

-intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers.

The y
-intercept is
cookie(s). The slope is
cookie(s) every
day(s).

1 answer

The y-intercept is the initial amount of cookies, or in other words, the number of cookies when the number of days is 0.

The slope represents the rate at which the number of cookies is increasing per day. In this case, the slope is the rate of change in the number of cookies every day.

To simplify the slope into whole numbers, we would need to know the specific values provided in the context of the situation. Without this information, we cannot provide a simplified rate using whole numbers.
