Answer:
y=2x-5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.
To find b use the equation 
. So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.
So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.
A constant because it a number
Answer: 3.6 feet per year
Pick any column and divide the feet over the years
eg: 7.2/2 = 3.6 (column 1)
You can think of it as the ratio
7.2 feet: 2 years
and then divide both sides by 2 to get "1 year" on the right side
7.2 feet: 2 years
7.2/2 feet: 2/2 years
3.6 feet: 1 year
