Question

A dog kennel charges $20 per night to board your dog. You can also have a dog treat delivered to your dog for $5. The equation 20x+5y=100 models the situation of possible combinations of nights at the kennel (x) and dog treats (y) that you can buy for $100.

Describe what the intercepts mean in context of the story.

Answer 1

Answer:

wow they are so tricky about what the math means.. huh  :D  why ask abstract math questions when it's supposed to be real  hmmmm welll anyway

Step-by-step explanation:

so the y intercept  or 0=y means you get your dog no treats... maybe you hate your dog... or he was bad in some way... no treats for you dog !! >:/

The X=0  intercept mean you love your dog and don't take him to the dog kennel but keep him at home.  And take care of him yourself.. but  you could still get him treats  :)  Probably for less then 5 dollars too.. I saw some at Costco for a lot less..  :)
