Answer:
y = - 2x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Here m = - 2, thus
y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (- 6, 2) into the partial equation
2 = 12 + c ⇒ c = 2 - 12 = - 10
y = - 2x - 10 ← equation of line
The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1
1
cm
Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3
3
cm
Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10
meters 6
6
cm
Its height after x
x
years = 10
10
meters x
x
cm
Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.

D because divide both sides by nine
The given distance of 5.20 would be A.
Replace A with 5.20 to solve for T.
T = 5.20^3/2
T = 11.9 years.
