When a baby panda is born, it is 6cm in length. Every week after this, its size increases by 5 cm. Write an equation in slope in
tercept form modeling the size of the panda after a certain number of weeks, then use your equation to determine how big the panda will be in 10 weeks.
The baby panda's initial or starting length is 5cm. This is the y-intercept or b value. We also know that the panda increases every week by 5 cm. This is the rate of change or slope. This is m. We can write in slope-intercept form y=mx+b.
