- 3. Juwan and his friend Jamie are watching their favorite tech penny stocks in the stock market. The initial value of Jamie's stock was $4.00, while Juwan's stock's initial value was $0.00. Because of some incredible turns in the market this morning, the stocks are now increasing in value. Every time Juwan's stock rises by $4.00, Jamie's stock increases by $3.00. If these stock gains remain constant throughout the day, perform the following: a. Convert this scenario into two linear equations; show both the standard form and the slope-intercept form for both equations. b. Explain how you decided to label the axes. c.
