4.97- ⓐ 50 inches
- ⓑ 66 inches
- ⓒ The slope, 2, means that the height, h, increases by 2 inches when the shoe size, s, increases by 1. The h-intercept means that when the shoe size is 0, the height is 50 inches.

4.98- ⓐ 40 degrees
- ⓑ 65 degrees
- ⓒ The slope, , means that the temperature Fahrenheit (F) increases 1 degree when the number of chirps, n, increases by 4. The T-intercept means that when the number of chirps is 0, the temperature is .

205.ⓐ
ⓑ At , he has been gone 0 hours and has 1000 miles left. At , he has been gone 15 hours and has 0 miles left to go.
Section 4.4 Exercises
Show solution
285.When the slope is a positive number the line goes up from left to right. When the slope is a negative number the line goes down from left to right.
Show solution
287.A vertical line has 0 run and since division by 0 is undefined the slope is undefined.

Show solution
337.- ⓐ $28
- ⓑ $66.10
- ⓒ The slope, 2.54, means that Randy’s payment, P, increases by $2.54 when the number of units of water he used, w, increases by 1. The P–intercept means that if the number units of water Randy used was 0, the payment would be $28.

339.- ⓐ $15
- ⓑ $143
- ⓒ The slope, 0.32, means that the cost, C, increases by $0.32 when the number of miles driven, m, increases by 1. The C-intercept means that if Janelle drives 0 miles one day, the cost would be $15.

Show solution
341.- ⓐ $750
- ⓑ $2418.60
- ⓒ The slope, 0.09, means that Patel’s salary, S, increases by $0.09 for every $1 increase in his sales. The S-intercept means that when his sales are $0, his salary is $750.

Show solution
343.- ⓐ $2850
- ⓑ $4950
- ⓒ The slope, 42, means that the cost, C, increases by $42 for when the number of guests increases by 1. The C-intercept means that when the number of guests is 0, the cost would be $750.
- ⓓ
Show solution
383.- ⓐ For every increase of one degree Fahrenheit, the number of chirps increases by four.
- ⓑ There would be chirps when the Fahrenheit temperature is . (Notice that this does not make sense; this model cannot be used for all possible temperatures.)
