Heather manages a company that currently has 35 employees, e, and is gaining 5 new employees each month. Which equation below can be used to determine the total, T, number of employees 4 months from now? Question 9 options: T = 5e +35 T = 35e + 5 T = 4e + 5 T = 5e + 4
We start with 35 employees, which is the y-intercept. Then, 5 employees are gained each month, which is slope. Using 5e + 35, we can easily substitute 4 for e, which would give 55 employees in 4 months.
