(0, 36) would be the point on the y axis, so 36 is the y-intercept, or the b value in the equation, y = mx + b.
(12,0) is the x-intercept, so we know the line has a negative slope.
The equation for these points would be:
y = -3x + 36

The height of the cactus is three times the height of the gate
the selling price would be 60.75
Let us use the formula with the point (4,5) and (0,2)

20,000 = P ( 1 + 0.1 )^4
20,000 = P * 1.1^4
20,000 = P * 1.461
P = 20,000 : 1.461 ≈ $13,689.25
