B Mr. Jones determined that the equation y = 98 x could be used to predict his

during the unit. What is the meaning of the y-intercept of the function?
A A student who was not absent during the unit should score about 98.

student is absent
D A student's test score should decrease by about 3.2 points for each day the

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
