Aspring stretches in relation to the weight hanging from it according to the equations y=0.75x+0.25 where x is the weight in pounds and y is the length of the spring in inches. interpret the slope and the y intercept of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a set of coordinate axes.  Label the horiz. axis "x" (to represent weight) and label the vert. axis "y" (to represent length of the spring).

y= spring length = 0.75x + 0.25 (measured in inches).

First, let x=0.  y will then be 0.75(0) + 0.25.  This is your "vertical intercept."

Now position your pencil on that point (0,0.25).   Move your pencil point 1.00 unit to the right from (0,0.25) and then up 0.75 unit.  This is what the "slope" means:  rise over run.  Here the rise is 0.75 and the run is 1.00.

The slope, 0.75, tells us by how much more the spring stretches as 1 more lb of weight is added to the weight already hanging from the spring.

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
