Question

6. A sunflower was 12 inches when first planted. Since then it has grown 34 of an inch each month.

Answer 1

The linear equation will be y=34x+12 and the slop is 34 and y intercept is 12. And the sunflower will be 420 inches tall after a year.

Here, the sunflower was 12 inches when first planted and it grows 34 of an inch each month

So, the linear equation will be

y=34x+12

Where,

y=height

x=month

now,

the slope-intercept equation is

y=mx+c

Where,

m=slope

c=y intercept

Comparing this equation with equation (1)

We will get

m=34

c=12

so, the slope is 34 and y intercept is 12.

now,

The tree is 12 inches when it first planted and since then it grows 34 of an inch every month

So,

Height of tree after a year =12+34×12

Height of tree after a year = 12+408

Height of tree after a year = 420 inches.

Hence,

The tree will be 420 inches tall after a year.
