Aparticular rocket taking off from the earth surface uses fuel at a constant rate of 12.5 gallons per minute the rocket initially contains 225 gallons of fuel determine a linear model and y equals x plus b form for the amount of fuel y as a function of the number of minutes x at the rocket has burned

The linear model which represents the amount of fuel left in the rocket as a function time is y = 12.5x + 225

Let :

The general form of a linear regression equation can be expressed as :

The intercept value, c = initial fuel content = 225 gallons

The slope value, b = rate of fuel consumption per minute = 12.5 gallons.

The linear model can be expressed as ; y = 12.5x + 225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the amount of fuel in gallons

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where

m is the unit rate or slope

b is the y-intercept or initial value

we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

----> initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

substitute

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076
