Can anyone help me answer these Math questions soon as possible?
The equation y = 0.2x + 3.5 can be used to find the amount of accumulated snow y in inches x hours after 5 P.M. on a certain day. The snow at 5 P.M. had accumulated to 3.5 inches and continued to accumulate each hour after that. What does the slope represent?
Which one of these choices is the correct answer?
the starting amount of snow
the amount of snow after 5 P.M.
