Question

A ball is thrown straight up in the air with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second (ft/sec). According to the laws of physics, if you let y denote the velocity of the ball after x seconds, y equals 64 minus 32 x.

The y-intercept of the linear equation is bo= ?

The slope of the linear equation is b1= ?

The y-intercept gives the y-value at which the line intersects the ?.  

The slope indicates that the y value ? by ? units for every increase in x of one unit.

The y intercept is the velocity of the ball at time ? seconds. The slope represents the fact that the velocity of the ball ? by ? ft/second every ?

Provide answers for ?'s.

Explanation / Answer

The y-intercept of the linear equation is bo= 64

The slope of the linear equation is b1=-32

The y-intercept gives the y-value at which the line intersects the 64.  

The slope indicates that the y value -32 by 1 units for every increase in x of one unit.
