Building and solving an equation to model the situation, it is found that it takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.
- Initially, the dog is 5 feet underground.
- Each minute, the dog goes 2 more feet underground.
Hence, the underground height of the dog after t seconds is given by:

The time it takes for the dog to reach 13 feet underground is <u>t for which h(t) = 13</u>, hence:





It takes 4 min for the prairie dog to reach 13 feet underground.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to graph the equations.
The equations are in slope intercept form so y=mx+b
M is the slope and b is the y-intercept
First draw the y & x axis and label/number them
The y-intercept for the first equation is -1 so draw a dot on the -1 on the y-axis
The slope is 2/5 and you use rise/run to continue the slope.
you rise 2 on the y-axis and go right 5 times on the x-axis (for a negative number you go left/down)
For the second equation, you have to turn it into slope intercept form.
You should get y=2/3x+3
You graph this equation the same as you did the first one.
