Answer:

When Ms. Perry bought the plant, its height was 5 inches. The plant grew at the rate of 2.5 inches per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change, or slope, represents the rate at which the height of the plant increased per week.

Use the points (2 , 10) and (4 , 15) from the table to calculate the rate of change, also known as the slope.

y2 - y1 = 15 inches-10 inches

x2 - x1     4 weeks-2 weeks

             2.5 inches/1 week or 2.5 inches per week

So, the rate of change is 2.5 inches per week.

Now, find the y-intercept, b, by using the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line represented by the given table of values and (x , y) is any point on the line.

Substitute m = 2.5 and (x , y) = (2 , 10) in the above equation to find out the initial height of the plant.

y=mx+b

10=2.5 (2) + b

5=b or b=5

So, the initial height of the plant was 5 inches.

Therefore, the situation represented by the table is when Ms. Perry bought the plant, its height was 5 inches. The plant grew at the rate of 2.5 inches per week.

y = 18

x = 2x18 - 7

x = 29

Find three consecutive even integers that sum up to -48
Igoryamba
We can write the equation: x + x + 2 + x + 4 = -48, where x is the least digit and x + 4 is the greatest. We get 3x + 6 = -48, 3x = -54. x = -18, so x + 2 is -20, and x + 4 is -22. Therefore, the 3 consecutive even integers that sum to -48 are -18, -20, and -22.
