The slope is -2.
The slope is the rise over the run. Because the line goes down from left to right, it makes the value negative. For every one the it moves to the right, the line goes down two units.
1) it will get longer horizontally
2) it will get longer vertically
3) it's linear
First we need to find the area of the triangle and the formula for that is A=1/2bh
Next we plug in what we have and we get the formula A=1/2(4x7)
When we do that math we get 14
Now we need to find the volume of the whole prism and the formula for this is V=Bh (big b means area of base)
When we plug in what we know we get V=14x13
Which gives us our final answer of V=182
So, on day 1, the plant was say "P" cm tall.
then 2 weeks go by, or 14 days, and the plant grew to 452 cm.
