Answer: Slope = 5/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the table:

Months, m            Plant height in inches, n

0                           2

2                           4.5

4                            7

6                            9.5

We want a linear relationship to represent this table.

A linear relationship can be written as:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-axis intercept.

For a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope can be written as:

a = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).

In this case we can select any pair of points, for example, i will choose the first two:

(0, 2) and (2, 4.5)

Then the slope is:

a = (4.5 - 2)/(2 - 0) = (2.5/2) = 1.25 = 5/4

Then our line can be written as:

y = (5/4)*x + b

To find the value of b, we can replace the values of any of the points in the equation, for example, i will use the point (0, 2) or x = 0, y = 2.

2 = (5/4)*0 + b

2 = b

Then our equation is:

y = (5/4)*x + 2.

Slope = 5/4

y-intercept = 2

NEED HELP ASAP! <br><br> What is the value of x? <br><br><br><br> x =
rjkz [21]

The Intersecting Secant Theorem says

EC × ED = EB × EA

(x+4)(x+4+1) = (x+1)(x+1+11)

(x+4)(x+5)=(x+1)(x+12)

x^2 + 9x + 20 = x^2 + 13 x + 12

8 = 4x

x = 2

Check:

6(7)=42

3(14)=42, good
