Sandra enters a pumpkin growing contest each year. currently, her pumpkin measures 36 inches in circumference. using data from previous years she models the weekly growth for her pumpkin with the equation y = 2x + 36. what is the meaning of the y-intercept in the equation? a) end date of the contest eliminate b) starting date of the contest c) starting size of the pumpkin d) largest size the pumpkin can grow

Option C) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandra enters a pumpkin growing contest each year.

currently her pumpkin measures 36 inches in circumference.

She models the weekly growth for her pumpkin with the equation

y = 2x + 36 which is similar to Y = mx + C

"C" represents "Y - intercept" which is at x = 0

measurement on Y axis x = 0 signifies the starting date of the contest.

and for x + 0 ⇒ y = 2 × 0 + 36 = 36

Which is starting size of the pumpkin.

Therefore, Option C) is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
