We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.
To find the y-intercept, let x = 0.
0 - 3y = -6
-3y = -6
y = 2
The y-intercept of the equation is the point (0, 2).
Hey!
In order to simplify this equation, we'll first have to multiply both sides of the equation by v. This will give us v on its own.
<em>Original Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Added Multiply Both Sides by V} :</em>

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>

Now we'll switch sides to get v on the left side of the equation which is generally where we always want the variables to be located in these types of equations.
<em>Old Equation :</em>

<em>New Equation {Switched} :</em>

Now we'll divide both sides by v to get v on its own.

<em>New Equation {Added Divide Both Sides by V} :</em>

<em>Solution {New Equation Solved} :</em>

<em>So, this means that in the equation

Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
y= 1/2x - 2
To find the x intercept, set y =0 and solve for x
0= 1/2x - 2
Add 2 to each side
2 = 1/2x -2+2
2 = 1/2x
Multiply by 2
2*2 = 1/2x *2
4 =x
The x intercept is 4
