Morgan had 11 inches of snow on her lawn. The temperature then increased and the snow began to melt at a constant rate of 1.5 inches per hour. Assuming no more snow was falling, how much snow would Morgan have on her lawn 2 hours after the snow began to melt? How much snow would Morgan have on her lawn after tt hours of snow melting?

two hours after the snow started melting, the depth of the snow would be 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The melting can be represented by a linear function of the snow depth (D(t)) as a function of time (t). We consider that the initial value is: 11 inches deep at time = 0 (zero). and then decreasing at a rate of 1.5 inches per hour (that is a negative slope = -1.5).

Therefore, 2 hours after the snow started melting, one would have:

the slope of the line is 60

one point on the line is (40,10)

step-by-step explanation:

in the equation outside the parenthesis the equation always tells you the slope. in this case it is 60.

in the parenthesis is also says 40 which is x because it is near the x and 10 is y because it is near y.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
