Jason is at the mall buying sno-cones for his friends. The function m = 5 − 1.25s represents the amount of money m he has left after s sno-cones. Find the zero value of this function by plotting points on the graph and finding the x-intercept.

The zero value of the function occurs at s = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function for the amount of money, m, Jason has left after buying s number of sno-cones for his friend is m = 5 - 1.25·s

Therefore, we have generated from Microsoft Excel the following data table used to plot the points on the graph

Number of Sno-cones                  Amount of money left

0                                                            5

1                                                             3.75

2                                                            2.5

3                                                            1.25

4                                                            0

Therefore, as seen from the above table, and from the attached graph, the zero value of the function occurs at the value where the amount of money left (y-coordinate value) is 0 which is at the value of s = 4.

damm bro the struggle

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
