Answer 1

The y-intercept tells us the initial value of our graph. In this case, it means there were 5 wasps in the garden at the beginning of the day.

The rate of change is 4 wasps appear every hour.

Answer 2

Y intercept (0 , 5)

The y intercept in context of the problem tells us that at 0 hour, there was already 5 wasps in the garden.

Rate of change: Using (0,5) and (1 , 9)

Rate of change = ( 9 - 5)/(1 - 0) = 4/1 = 4

Rate of change = 4 wasps per hour.

The rate of change in context of the problem tells us that there are 4 wasps in the garden per hour.
