the weight in pounds of a newborn baby t months after birth can be modeled by the equation W=t+7. what is the y-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem

Respuesta :

Answer:

y intercept = (0,7) , it is the weight of a newborn at birth/ before any months have passed

Step-by-step explanation:

in this equation:

weight= t(months) + 7

this is an equation written as y=mx +b

in a line equation like this b is the y intercept , or the y value when x=0

in this problem when x=0 it means that 0 months have passed , i.e. the baby is a newborn
