A mother gives birth to a 9 pound baby. every 4 months, the baby gained 2 pounds. if x is the age of the baby in months, then y

is the weight of the baby in pounds. find an equation of a line in the form y = mx + b that describes the baby's weight.

For the equation of the line of the form y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept which is the value of y when x is equal to zero. The slope is the rate of change of y per change in x. "y" would represent the dependent variable which is the weight of the baby while "x" represents the independent variable which is the number of months or the age of the baby in months. We calculate the slope as follows:

slope = (11 - 9) / ( 4 - 0) = 2/4 = 0.5
at x = 0, it is said that the weight of the baby is 9 lbs so the value of b would be 9.

The equation of the line would be y = 0.5x + 9

What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function shown on the graph? Express your answer in decimal form. Round to the
allsm [11]
In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.


In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.


The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.


We can test that using several pair of points.


The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:

 [f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)

Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)

[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5


[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5


[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5


Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5

1/5 because 1/5+2/5+1/5=4/5 and out of a whole which would be 5/5, you would subtract 4/5 from 5/5
