Question

The table shows the percent y (in decimal form) of battery power remaining x hours after you turn on a laptop computer.

Hours, x024Power Remaining, y1.00.60.2\begin{matrix} \text{Hours, x} & \text{0} & \text{2} & \text{4}\\ \text{Power Remaining, y} & \text{1.0} & \text{0.6} & \text{0.2}\\ \end{matrix}

a. Write and graph a linear function that relates y to x. b. Interpret the slope, the x-intercept, and the y-intercept. c. After how many hours is the battery power at 75%?

1 of 3

a. \textbf{a. }The linear function has the form

y=mx+cy=mx+c

and Slope of the function is given by

m=y2y1x2x1m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Given:

(x1,y1)=(2,0.6)(x_1,y_1)=(2,0.6)

(x2,y2)=(4,0.2)(x_2,y_2)=(4,0.2)

So,

m=0.20.642=0.42=0.2m=\frac{0.2-0.6}{4-2}=\frac{-0.4}{2}=-0.2

The line of the function passes through (0,1)(0,1). So, c=1c=1. Function for yy is

y=0.2x+1y=-0.2x+1
