Question

starting at noon, alonso observed the amount of snow on his lawn during a blizzard. he created a graph to represent how many inches of snow were on the lawn at x minutes past noon. what is the meaning of the y - value when x = 60?

Explanation:

The graph has \( x \) as minutes past noon and \( y \) as snowfall in inches. When \( x = 60 \), that means 60 minutes (or 1 hour) past noon. The \( y \)-value at \( x = 60 \) represents the total inches of snow on the lawn 60 minutes after noon.

Answer:

The \( y \)-value when \( x = 60 \) is the number of inches of snow on Alonso's lawn 60 minutes (1 hour) past noon.
