Weather the equation y=0.2x +3.5 can be used to find the amount of accumulated snow y in inches x hours after 5 p. m. on a certain day. identify the slope and y- intercept of the graph of the equation and explain what each represents.

Slope (m) = 0.2 and y-intercept (b) = 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given weather equation y=0.2x +3.5 for finding the amount of accumulated snow y in inches x hours after 5 P.M. on a certain day.

We need to identify the slope and y- intercept of the graph of the equation .

Let us compare given equation y=0.2x +3.5 by slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we get

Slope (m) = 0.2 and y-intercept (b) = 3.5.
