Rate of change means derivative or slope. So you’d go down 3 and right one. I have no clue what you want me to do with y = x
Wouldn’t y =x be a straight line from the origin with a slope of 1?
Answer:
The nail would be 30 feet above the ground in 10 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Height of nail = 10 feet.
The tree grows taller at a rate of 2 feet per year.
Thus, the height of nail can be represented by a linear function:

where t is the number of years.
We have to find the height of nail in 10 years.
Putting t = 10, we get,

Thus, the nail would be 30 feet above the ground in 10 years.
