The state of Montana is experiencing a warm day after a heavy snowfall. The graph shows the height of snow, h, in centimeters after t hours. 1.) What linear function does the graph represent.

h= 3t = 6
h=3t+18
h=−3t+18
h=−3t+6
The initial value represents which of the following?

The amount of snow melting each hour.

The amount of snow remaining after four hours.

The amount of snow that accumulated the previous night.

1.

2. The amount of snow that accumulated the previous night.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. height of snow = h cm

time = t hrs

To determine the linear function, find the slope (m) of the line, and the y-intercept (b). Then represent the function in slope-intercept form as y = mx + b. Where,

y = h,

x = t

m = slope

b = y-intercept

Find slope (m) using points (6, 0) and (0, 18):

m = -3

The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis = 18

Substitute y = h, x = t, m = -3, and b = 18 into y = mx + b.

Thus, the linear function would be:

2. The Initial value is the y-intercept, which is 18. In this case, 18 represents the amount of snow in cm, that accumulated the previous night.

=====================================

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer
