The new length of the string is  (13 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top)

<h3> What is the new length of the string?</h3>

We know that the current string was (8 + 3/4) feet in length. Then they add another piece that measures 4.5 feet.

The new length of the string is given by the addition of the above two lengths, we will get:

L = (8 + 3/4) feet + 4.5 feet

We can rewrite the second length as a mixed number:

4.5 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 2/4

Replacing that we get:

L = (8 + 3/4) ft + 4.5 ft

  =  (8 + 3/4) ft + (4 + 2/4) ft

  = (8 + 4) ft + (3/4 + 2/4) ft

  = 12ft + 5/4ft = 12ft + (4/4 + 1/4)ft = (13 + 1/4)ft

The new length of the string is  (13 + 1/4) feet, then the correct option is the last one (counting from the top).

The table shows the height of a plant as it grows. Which equation in point ­slope form gives the plant’s height at any time
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

y-16=8(x-2) is the equation represent the point slope form gives the plant's height at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope intercept form: For any two points (x_1, y_1) and  (x_2, y_2) then,

the general form

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) for linear equations;  where m is the slope given by:

m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Consider any two points from the table;

let A= (2 , 16) and B =(4, 32)

First calculate the slope of the line AB:

m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{32-16}{4-2}=\frac{16}{2} = 8

Therefore, slope of the line m = 8

Then,

the equation of line is:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the value of m=8 and (2, 16) above we get;

y-16=8(x-2)

Therefore, the equation in point slope form which gives the plant's height at any time is; y-16=8(x-2) , where x is the time(months) and y is the plant height (cm)
