Siri's here of five In this section the equation H
- 00:09
equals two T as in fruity The number of houses
- 00:12
that Drake paints can be modelled by the equation above
- 00:14
For H is the number of houses he has painted

and T is the number of work days he has
- 00:20
spent painting When H is ten what would the value
- 00:23
of TB Okay Well we'll get that It's five like
- 00:29
that's not too hard to figure out but what does
- 00:31
it mean What's the greater meaning in all of this
- 00:34
Drakes been working hard turning out freshly painted houses at
- 00:37
a constant rate We have been given an equation that
- 00:39
can be understood in terms of slope intercept form that
- 00:42
you know Y equals MX plus B thing Hopefully we're
- 00:45
drilling into you right now that this happens a lot
- 00:47
on the right you're given the slope intercept form and
- 00:50
you have to kind of back out what the equation
- 00:53
means in a Peruvian philosophical way In place of our
- 00:56
Y term we have h the number of houses he's
- 00:59
painted And in place of acts we have tea or
- 01:02
the number of work days he has spent painting When
- 01:05
H is ten we know he's painted ten houses where
- 01:08
we could then calculate for the T value should be
- 01:10
five But we don't need to know the exact number
- 01:12
of days here It's need to know what the answer
- 01:15
would represent philosophy of it The greater meaning which is
- 01:19
the number of work days it has taken him to
- 01:21
paint Those ten houses So that's it The answer is
- 01:24
C That's the number of work days Take straight to
- 01:26
paint ten houses I don't know how long it take 00:01:28.38 --> [endTime] you to a penthouse Never done it never will
