One morning, Christine measured the tempe outside every hour. She determined that the equation T = 3h + 55 can model the temperature (1) at each hour (h). State the meaning of the slope and the y- intercept. %3D

Ms. Dawson’s call did a science experiment. The class started out with 635 bacteria cells. The growth rate predicted was 5.15%. Sketch the graph that represents the situation. Label the y-intercept and the point that represents the projected bacteria population 23 h from the start of the experiment. Be sure to show your work on how you obtained your second value. Round to the nearest whole number.
