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>

Sonja [21]

The answer is: -3y+9z

This is because you simply switch the sign for every number in the parentheses.

Hope this helps!

I think the answer is 12 because the greatest common factor of 24 and 36 is 12.

Hope this helped☺☺

(That means each goody bag will have 2 pencils and 3 erasers)
