The denominator is 24 in the fraction
Every day, it increases by 8 inches. We know that it started at 16 inches.
We can construct an equation with this information.
Equation: 16+8x=h
h=Height
x=Days
Plug in 12 for x:
16+96=h
h=112 inches
Answer: The plant will be 112 inches tall in 12 days.
Probability of 2 consecutive greens equals 4/9*3/8=1/6
Probability of not getting equals 1-1/6=5/6
Use the 2 points to find the gradient of the line
Gradient = (y - y1)/(x - x1), y and y1 are the two different y values.
(2.3 - - 7.4)/(-4.3 - 1.3) = -97/56 = -1.732
Note: y and x both come from the same coordinate, and y1 and x1 also come from the same coordinates - (x , y), (x1 , y1)
Use the following to find the equation (x, x1, y, and y1 are not the same as the first part)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where x2 and y2 is an intersection (one of the coordinates you used) and m is the gradient you found.
So...
y - 2.3 = -1.732(x - - 4.3)
You can simplify this if you are required to.
