Carlos begins his workout by stretching. Then he spends an equal amount of time on each workout machine. The equation y = 8x + 10 represents the total time, in minutes, of Carlos' workout if he uses x workout machines.Explain what the slope and y-intercept of the equation represent in this situation.

the y-intercept is the 10...its like where you start, and the slope is the 8, which indicates the rate of growth linearly

Answer:

The slope of the equation is 8 and y-intercept is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

[tex]y=8x+10[/tex]                     .... (1)

The slope intercept of a line is defined as

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]                    .... (2)

Where, m is the slope of the line and b is y-intercept.

On comparing equation (1) and (2), we get

[tex]m=8[/tex]

[tex]b=10[/tex]

Therefore the slope of the equation is 8 and y-intercept is 10.
