3. A group of workers is harvesting berries at a constant rate. An equation that represents the total number of baskets of berries the workers picked over a period of time, in hours, is y = 7x + 15.
(a) What are the slope and the y-intercept for the equation?
(b) Which term represents the total number of baskets of berries the workers picked over a period of
time?
(c) What are the rate of change and the initial amount? Explain the meaning of the rate of change and
the initial amount for the situation.
(d) Use graph below to draw a graph representing the situation. Label the axes appropriately.

2 & 7

step-by-step explanation:

he climbs 300 ft/hr at a constant rate. the peak is at 1,500 ft.

when going up, he reaches 600 ft in 2 hours. remember, that he is going in a constant rate. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = 2

assuming that he takes the same route back (meaning that it's a 1500 ft route back, you can solve.

note also that you are solving when he gets back to 600 ft after he reaches the peak.

first, find the amount of hours it takes to get up the peak. divide the total amount (1500), with the ft/her (300) to get the amount of hours (x):

1500/300 = x

x = 5

it takes jamie 5 hours to get up. now, he is returning down, and reaches 600 (his current destination). remember that he climbs at a constant 300 ft/hr. divide 600 with 300:

600/300 = x

x = 2

now add the two numbers together.

x = 5 + 2 = 7

jamie takes 7 hours to go up the mountain and reach his current position when descending.

(total amount/constant rate) = (time).

remember that it is a constant rate, so in total, when he gets back down the mountain, it will take the same amount of time as when he goes up. the total amount for the round trip is: 5 + 5 = 10.

answe: it will take 4.5 hours for naomi and clair to paint an equal number of square feet

hope i

-lavira : )

i believe the answer is y=0.25x+-3
