Question

eighth grade cc.7 interpret the slope and y-intercept of a linear function hsb mr. baker, the owner of buzz bees bakery, made a large batch of honey-lavender cookie dough. he pulled equal-sized balls of dough from the batch to form the cookies. the amount of dough mr. baker has left depends on how many cookies he has formed. this situation can be modeled as a linear relationship. what does the y-intercept of the line tell you about the situation? mr. baker baked 40 cookies. mr. baker made 108 ounces of cookie dough to start. mr. baker used 2 ounces of cookie dough to form each cookie. mr. baker used 12 ounces of cookie dough to form each cookie.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify y-intercept definition

The y-intercept is where x=0 (no cookies formed).

Step2: Locate y-intercept on graph

When x=0, y=108 ounces of dough left.

Step3: Interpret the value

At 0 cookies formed, dough left = initial dough amount. So initial dough is 108 ounces.

Answer:

Mr. Baker made 108 ounces of cookie dough to start.
