Data:
x: number of months
y: tree's height
Tipical grow: 0.22
Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)
In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.
m=0.22
To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):
Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:
A) This line's slope-intercept equation is: y=0.22x+17.2
B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:
Then, after 29 months the tree would be 23.58 feet in height
C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:
Then, after 58 months the tree would be 29.96feet tall
Answer:
- a) 2x -y = -5; A=2, B=-1, C=-5
- b) y = 2x +5
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Standard Form is ...
Ax + By = C
where A > 0 and A, B, C are mutually prime.
To get that form, we can add 2x-5 to both sides of the equation:
(2x -5) -2x = (2x -5) -y +5
-5 = 2x -y
Then we can swap sides of the equal sign:
2x -y = -5 . . . . . . standard form
Matching this to the generic standard form equation, we find ...
A = 2
B = -1
C = -5
__
b) We can solve for y by adding 2x+y to both sides of the equation:
(2x +y) -2x = (2x +y) -y +5
y = 2x +5 . . . . . . slope-intercept form
7x + 3 is the final answer
Each will get 1.33 orange.
