Data:
x: number of months
y: tree's height
Tipical grow: 0.22
Fifteen months into the observation, the tree was 20.5 feet tall: x=15 y=20.5ft (15,20.5)
In this case the slope (m) or rate of change is the tipical grow.
m=0.22
To find the line's slope-intercep equation you use the slope (m) and the given values of x and y (15 , 20.5) in the next formula to find the y-intercept (b):
Use the slope(m) and y-intercept (b) to write the equation:
B) To find the height of the tree after 29 months you substitute in the equation the x for 29 and evaluate to find the y:
C) In this case as you have the height and need to find the number of moths you substitute the y for 29.96feet and solve the equation for x, as follow:
