Answer: C. Y = 5x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write, or decide on, the equation for the blue line as this line represents the trend line for this scatter plot. We will write this in slope-intercept form. <em>See attached for a visual</em>.
First, we will find our slope. We will use for this since we have a graph with clear points. See attached, we count up [5] and then count to the right [1] for a slope of 5.
-> Slope = 5
Now, we will find our y-intercept. This is where the line intersects the y-axis. The line hits the y-axis at point (0, 5) giving us a y-intercept of 5.
-> Y-intercept = 5
Lastly, we will write our equation and decide on an answer.
y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>
y = (5)x + (5)
Y = 5x + 5
C. Y = 5x + 5
Answer:
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
The combined height of one fir tree and one pine tree is 21 meters. The height of 4 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 24 meters taller than one pine tree.
Let x be the height of fir tree and y be the height of pine tree
Subtract x from both sides
height of 4 fir trees = pine tree +24
Substitute 21-x or y in the above equation
Add x on both sides
Divide by 5 on both sides
x=9
Now plug in 9 for x and find out y
y=12
Height of fir tree = 9 meters
height of pine tree= 12 meters
