Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer is x<0
because
x-4+4<-4+4
We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.
