A lake near the Arctic Circle is covered by a 222-meter-thick sheet of ice during the cold winter months. When spring arrives, the warm air gradually melts the ice, causing its thickness to decrease at a constant rate. After 333 weeks, the sheet is only 1.251.251, point, 25 meters thick.
Let yyy represent the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) after xxx weeks.
Which of the following information about the graph of the relationship is given?

Here we must see which information about the graph of a linear relationship is given.  The information given is just the y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept, thus the correct option is E.

Linear relationships:

So we define a general linear relationship as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In this problem we know that:

  • Originally, the sheet of ice is 2 meters thick.
  • The thickness decays at a constant rate
  • After 3 weeks, the thickness is 1.25 meters.

The first point gives us the y-intercept (the thickness at week 0), the second one gives us the fact that the relationship is linear, and the third one is just a point on the line (that can be used to get the slope.)

So the information given is just the y-intercept and a point that is not an intercept, thus the correct option is E.
