The weight, in pounds, of a newborn baby tt months after birth can be modeled by the equation W=1.75t+6.W=1.75t+6. What is the slope of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

the slope is 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Interpretation: The weight of newborn is 6 lb at birth, and every month baby gained 1.75 lb. You replace x with month you want to know the weight.  For example you can calculate the weight after 4 month : w= 1.75(4)+6= 13 lb
