From 2002 to 2005, U.S. consumption of renewable energy increased an average of 0.17 quadrillion BTUs per year. About 6.07
quadrillion BTUs of rhewable power were produced in the year 2002. Write an equation in slope-intercept form to find the amount of renewable
power Pin quadrillion BTUs produced in year y between 2002 and 2005.

Respuesta :

The linear function is:

[tex]y = 6.07 + 0.17x, 0 \leq x \leq 3[/tex]

The equation of a line, in slope-intercept form, is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the initial value.

In this problem:

  • Initial value of 6.07  quadrillion BTUs, thus [tex]b = 6.07[/tex]
  • Increased an average of 0.17 quadrillion BTUs per year, thus [tex]m = 0.17[/tex].
  • Between 2002 and 2005, thus, the equation is:

[tex]y = 6.07 + 0.17x, 0 \leq x \leq 3[/tex]
