Answer:
y = 3x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
✔️First, find the slope using any two given pairs form the table, say (2, 10) and (5, 19):
Slope (m) = ∆y/∆x = (19 - 10) / (5 - 2) = 9/3
m = 3
✔️Find y-intercept (b) by substituting (x, y) = (2, 10) and m = 3 into y = mx + b
10 = 3(2) + b
10 = 6 + b
10 - 6 = b
4 = b
b = 4
✔️Write the equation by substituing m = 3 and b = 4 into y = mx + b
y = 3x + 4
Answer: 30 feet
--------------------------------
Work Shown:
x = height of tree in feet
The larger triangle, and the smaller triangle that fits inside the larger, are similr triangles.
So we can form the proportion
x/5 = 48/8
Note how x/5 is the result of dividing the larger vertical side (x) over the smaller vertical side (5)
The same applies with 48/8. The larger triangle's horizontal side is 8+40 = 48. The corresponding horizontal side for the smaller triangle is 8
Cross multiply to solve for x
x/5 = 48/8
8*x = 5*48
8*x = 240
8*x/8 = 240/8
x = 30
The tree is 30 feet tall
The relationship is linear becuase it all equals each other
