a. \boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}

b. For every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.

c. <em> </em>It represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<h3>PART A.</h3>

In this exercise we have that in July Ariel recorded the height of a pine tree and how quickly it was expected to grow in next several months. From the Table, we can get the following points:

P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\ P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ P_{3}(q,606) \\ \\ P_{4}(12,608)

It is obvious that this problem follows a linear equation, so our goal is to find the equation that matches the Table.

The point slope form of the equation of a line is:

y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ m:Slope \\ \\ (x_{1}, y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line

Finding (m):

Using: \\ \\ P_{1}(x_{1},y_{1}) \rightarrow P_{1}(3,602) \\ \\  P_{2}(x_{2}, y_{2}) \rightarrow P_{2}(6,604) \\ \\ m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{604-602}{6-3} \\ \\ m=\frac{2}{3}

Finally, the equation of the line is:

(x_{1}, y_{1}) \rightarrow (3,602) \\ \\ \boxed{y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)}

<h3>PART B.</h3>

In this case, we have that:

  • The x-axis represents the <em>Number of Months </em>the pine tree was expected to grow.
  • The y-axis represents the <em>Height  of the Tree </em>in inches.

Since the slope o a line is:

Slope=\frac{Change \ in \ y}{Change \ in \ x}=\frac{2}{3}

Then, this means that<em> every three months the pine tree grows two inches, </em><em>or </em><em>for every month the pine tree grows about 0.67 inches.</em>

<h3>PART C.</h3>

The y-intercept can be found setting x=0. So, from our equation:

y-602=\frac{2}{3}(x-3)} \\ \\ \\ If \ x=0: \\ \\ y-602=\frac{2}{3}(0-3) \\ \\ y-602=-2 \\ \\ Solving \ for \ y: \\ \\ y=602-2 \\ \\ y=600

So the y-intercept is y=600 and<em> represents the height of the tree at the moment Ariel started to record the heights.</em>

How do u find the slope of (6,-10), (-15,15)
Sergeu [11.5K]
m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}-  x_{1}} = \frac{15 - (-10)}{-15 - 6} = \frac{15 + 10}{-21} = \frac{25}{-21} = -1\frac{4}{21}

     y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - (-10) = -1⁴/₂₁(x - 6)
   y + 10 = -1⁴/₂₁(x) + 1⁴/₂₁(6)
   y + 10 = -1⁴/₂₁x + 7¹/₇
       - 10              - 10
           y = -1⁴/₂₁x - 3¹/₇

M is the midpoint of the segment. Find the length of XM.
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

x=2 and XM=11

Step-by-step explanation:

because M is the midpoint of the line, you know that both XM and ZM are equal and you know an expression for the lengths of both of these.

set these expressions equal and solve:

4x+3=3x+5 so by subtracting the 3x from the right side, moving it over to the left and subtracting 3 from the left side to move it over to the right, you get:

x=2

then to find XM, plug in this value of x to get XM=11

4(2)+3=11

The graph shows Susan’s distance from her office, in yards, as she runs errands, over time, in minutes.
musickatia [10]
The question is asking how much time Susan spent moving toward her office.  On the graph, the y-axis represents the distance Susan is from her office, so the amount of time she is moving toward her office is the amount of time the graph is going down.

As you can see, the graph is going down from the 10 to 16 minute marks and the 22 to 26 minute marks.  In total, this is 20 minutes in which the graph is going down.

Therefore, Susan spends 20 minutes moving toward her office.
