y=10+x(0.5)

This is the way of writing that equation.


The equation that shows a smaller rate of change than Jonah's puppy is given by option D) y = 0.4 + 10x and this can be determined by forming the linear equation in two variables with the help of the given data.

Given :

  • Jonah weighs his puppy each week.
  • The puppy has a mass of 10 kilograms the first time jonah weighs it.
  • The mass of the puppy increases by 0.5 each week until its fully grown.

Let 'y' represent the total weight of the puppy in Kilogram and 'x' represent the time in terms of the number of weeks.

Then the total weight of Jonah's puppy is given by:

[tex]y = 10 + (0.5)x[/tex]

So, the rate of change of Jonah's puppy will be:

[tex]\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{10}{x}+0.5[/tex]

Therefore, the equation that shows a smaller rate of change than Jonah's puppy is given by option D) y = 0.4 + 10x.
