Times 4 because, 5 times 4 is 20, 20 times 4 is 80 and so on.
Answer:
<h2>0.15 inches per month</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.
given data
the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months
and also that 1 month= 4 weeks
step two:
We can still say that
if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches
then 1 months will be X inches
cross multiply we have
X= 5/32 inches
step three:
converting this number to decimal we have
X= 0.15 inches per month
Therefore the growth rate would be
0.15 inches per month
4x is the proportionality
Answer! :
y = -2x + 5
Step by Step! :
slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
m being slope, b being the y intercept.
To find the slope, use this equation:
y^2 - y^1 / x^2 - x^1
Plug in your points.
(-1) - (7) / (3) - (-1)
-8 / 4
-2 is your slope! (y = -2x + b)
To solve for b, plug in any one of your points and solve for b. Let's use (3, -1)
-1 = -2(3) + b
-1 = -6 + b
5 = b
Your new equation is...
y = -2x + 5
