The graph shows the heights, y (in centimeters), of a plant after a certain number of weeks, x. Donna drew the line of best fit

on the graph.
A graph titled Plant Height shows Number of Weeks on x axis and Height of Plant in cm on y axis. The scales on both x and y axes are shown from 0 to 5 at increments of 5. The graph shows dots at the ordered pairs 0, 1 and 0.5, 1.5 and 1, 2 and 1.5, 2.5 and 2, 2.8 and 2.5, 3 and 3, 3.4 and 3.5, 3.5 and 4, 4 and 4.5,4.5 and 5, 5. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 0, 1 and 5, 5


What would most likely be the approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks?


11.0 centimeters

9.25 centimeters

8.8 centimeters

7.4 centimeters

(Please show your work)
Thank you!

Using the given linear function of best-fit, the most likely approximate height of the plant after 8 weeks would be of 7.4 centimeters.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The line of best-fit goes through points (0,1) and (5,5). Point (0,1) means that the y-intercept is of b = 1. The slope is given as follows:

m = (5 - 1)/(5 - 0) = 4/5 = 0.8.

Hence the equation that gives the approximate height after x weeks is:

y = 0.8x + 1.

After 8 weeks, the expected height is:

y = 0.8 x 8 + 1 = 6.4 + 1 = 7.4 centimeters.

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x
Sati [7]

Answer:

x = 2-t and y = -5\cdot t +21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y = 5\cdot x + 11 and t = 2-x, the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) t = 2-x Given

2) y = 5\cdot x +11 Given

3) y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11 Associative and modulative properties

4) y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11 Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11 Associative property

6) y = -5\cdot (-x)+11  \frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b} / (-1)\cdot a = -a

7) y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11 Modulative property

8) y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11 Existence of additive inverse

9) y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11 Associative and commutative properties

10) y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11 Distributive property

11) y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21 (-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b

12) y = (-5)\cdot t +21 By 1)

13) y = -5\cdot t +21 (-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b/Result

14) t+x = (2-x)+x Compatibility with addition

15) t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t) Compatibility with addition

16) [t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t) Associative property

17) 0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t) Associative property

18) x = 2-t Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is x = 2-t and y = -5\cdot t +21.
