Respuesta :
I am not completly sure but I am pretty sure that it is the number of apples he started with.
Answer:
The correct option is 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Alton has been recording the number of apples on his apple tree each week, as shown below
Week Apples
2 15
3 22
4 29
5 36
The function representing alton's apples per week is
[tex]f(w)=7w+1[/tex] ..... (1)
The slope intercept form of a line is
[tex]y=mx+b[/tex] .... (2)
Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
From (1) and (2), we get
[tex]m=7,b=1[/tex]
The slope of the function is 7 and y-intercept is 1.
It means the number the apples increased by 7 each week and the initial number of apples is 1.
Since 1 represent the number of apples at the start, therefore the correct option is 1.
