Answer: 2/3

Step-by-step explanation: To identify the slope of this line, we first need to convert this equation to slope-intercept form.

In slope-intercept or y = mx + b form, the y

is by itself on the left side of the equation.

So our first task in this problem is to get y by itself

on the left side of the equation and we do that by

first adding 2x to both sides to get 3y = 2x + 6.

Notice that I put the x term first on the right side of the equation and then the number because in y = mx + b form, the x term comes first on the right side of the equation.

Continuing on, to get y by itself we would

divide both sides by 3 to get y = 2/3x + 2.

Now in y = mx + b form, the slope is coefficient of the x term.

So we can see that the slope of this line is 2/3.

Answer:

Quadratic, because the height increases and then decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an exponential function, the graph will either increase or decrease over the entire domain. It does not change direction.

We can see from the table that the heights increase and then decrease; this means it cannot be an exponential function.

A quadratic function has a graph that is u-shaped. It will start out either increasing or decreasing, and then after the maximum or minimum is reached, it changes direction.

We can see from the table that this is what the heights do; this means it is a quadratic function.
