There are 3 inches of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour.

Which linear equation represents the total depth of the snow, in inches, after x hours?


y=0.5x+3


3+y=0.5x


y=0.5x


x=0.5y

Verified Answer :

The answer isĀ y=0.5x+3

There are 3 inches of snow on the ground: y = 3
When it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour: y = 0.5x
There are 3 inches of snow on the ground when it begins to snow 0.5 inches per hour: y = 0.5x + 3
