dollars and x is the number of miles the car is towed. Find and interpret the slope and y-intercept of the
linear equation.
A) m = 3; The cost of the service increases $3 every mile the car is towed. b = 40; The cost of the service is
$40 if the car is not towed.
B) m = 40; The cost of the service increases $40 every mile the car is towed. b = 3; The cost of the service
is $3 if the car is not towed.
C) m = 3; The number of miles the car is towed increases 3 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b
= 40; The tow truck will tow the car 40 miles for no cost.
D) m = 40; The number of miles the car is towed increases 40 miles for every dollar spent on the service. b

3; The tow truck will tow the car 3 miles for no cost.
Answer: A

160) The monthly cost of a certain long distance service is given by the linear function y = 0.04x + 7.95 where y is
in dollars and x is the amount of time in minutes called in a month. Find and interpret the slope and y-
intercept of the linear equation.
A) m = 0.04; The cost of the long distance service increases $0.04 for every 1 minute called. b = 7.95; The
cost of the long distance service is $7.95 if no calls are made for the month.
B) m = 7.95; The cost of the long distance service increases $7.95 for every 1 minute called. b = 0.04; The
cost of the long distance service is $0.04 if no calls are made for the month.
C) m = 0.04; The number of minutes called in a month increases 0.04 for every dollar spent. b = 7.95;
The number of minutes that can be called when x = 0 is 7.95.
D) m = 7.95; The number of minutes called in a month increases 7.95 for every dollar spent. b = 0.04;
The number of minutes that can be called when x = 0 is 0.04.

A) m = 120; The amount of water in the bucket increases 120 ounces every minute. b = 6; At x = 0,
the amount of water in the bucket was 6 ounces.
B) m = -6; The amount of water in the bucket decreases 6 ounces every minute. b = 120; At x = 0, the
amount of water in the bucket was 120 ounces.
C) m = 6; The amount of water in the bucket increases 6 ounces every minute. b = 120; At x = 0 the
amount of water in the bucket was 120 ounces.
D) m = 120; The amount of water in the bucket decreases 120 ounces every minute. b = 6; At x = 0,
the amount of water in the bucket was 6 ounces.

the linear function y = 800x + 3089, where y is in feet and x is the time in minutes since take-off. Find and
interpret the slope and y-intercept.
A) m = 3089; The minutes since take-off increases 3089 for every foot of altitude. b = 800; The minutes
that the plane takes to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level.
B) m = 800; The minutes since take-off increases 800 for every foot of altitude. b = 3089; The minutes
that the plane takes to get to the altitude of the airport from sea level.
C) m = 3089; The altitude of the airplane increases 3089 feet every minute. b = 3089; The altitude of
the airport where the airplane took-off is 800 feet above sea level.
D) m = 800; The altitude of the airplane increases 800 feet every minute. b = 3089; The altitude of the
airport where the airplane took-off is 3089 feet above sea level.

A) m = 32; The speed of the ball increases 32 feet per second every second. There is no y-
intercept to interpret.
B) m = 32; The speed of the ball is 32 feet per second. b = 0; When the ball is dropped at x = 0, the ball
has fallen 0 feet.
C) m = 0; The speed of the ball does not increase as time passes. b = 32; At time x = 0, the ball has
fallen 32 feet.
D) m = 32; The speed of the ball increases 32 feet per second every second. b = 0; The speed of the ball
was 0 the moment it was dropped.
