Y = 2x + 5
If you take the height at 10 days, 25 centimeters, after 10 more days the height is 45 centimeters, meaning for those 10 extra days the been plant grown 20 centimeters. Since we're told the plant is growing at a constant rate, this shows the bean plant is growing 2 centimeters per day. We can represent this with y = 2x. (After 10 days, the bean plant will be 20 centimeters, after 20 days, the bean plant will be 40 centimeters, etc.)
However, this is not completely true yet. As you can see, after the first 10 days the plant is not 20 centimeter, it's 25 centimeters. We already know the rate in which the plant is changing, but now we need to find the height that the plant was originally, before it started growing.
After the first 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. Since we know that the plant is growing 2 centimeters per day, we can subtract 20 from 25 to find the original height of the bean plant.
25 - 20 = 5
The bean plant was originally 5 centimeters.
This makes our final equation y = 2x + 5.
2x is the slope, and 5 is the y intercept.
Hope this helps1!
9.5 feet,to find that you must find out how many times longer the shadow of the pole is than the pole, and to do that you must divide 95 by 50, in which you get 1.9. And then to find the length of the shadow the man casts you must multiply his height by 1.9.

Answer:
2.5 hours <u>or</u> 2 hours and 30 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
130 / 52 = 2.5
26 to nearest year
We require the total of the sums of ages for both groups before calculating the mean for all 16
using mean = 
Women
27 = 
( cross- multiply )
sum = 9 × 27 = 243
Men
25 = 
( cross- multiply )
sum = 7 × 25 = 175
Total sum of all 16 = 243 + 175 = 418
mean = 
= 26 ( to nearest year )
