Is the cost of bags of candy an example of a linear function?

• No, as the cost is not related to the number of bags

• Yes, as the cost increases by a constant amount

• No, as the cost decreases over time

• Yes, but only during promotions

What is the y-intercept in the context of the bathtub filling example?

• Initial volume of water in the tub

• Total time to fill the tub

• Rate of water flow

• None, as the tub starts empty

What is the new filling time for the bathtub if it starts with 8 gallons of water?

• 12 minutes

• 14.3 minutes

• 14 minutes

• 10 minutes

How does the initial condition of water in the tub affect the filling time?

• No effect

• Increases the time

• Decreases the time

• Varies unpredictably
