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.

Proof 14
Solve the following system:
{2 x - y = -7 | (equation 1)
4 x - y = -4 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
2 x - y = -7 | (equation 2)
Subtract 1/2 × (equation 1) from equation 2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x - y/2 = -5 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by -2:
{4 x - y = -4 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Add equation 2 to equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 6 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 3/2 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 10 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 1.5
y = 10
Proof 15.
Solve the following system:
{5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 1)
8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 2)
Swap equation 1 with equation 2:
{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
5 x + 7 y = 32 | (equation 2)
Subtract 5/8 × (equation 1) from equation 2:{8 x + 6 y = 46 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 2:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+(13 y)/4 = 13/4 | (equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 by 4/13:
{4 x + 3 y = 23 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:
{4 x+0 y = 20 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Divide equation 1 by 4:
{x+0 y = 5 | (equation 1)
0 x+y = 1 | (equation 2)
Collect results:
Answer: {x = 5 y = 1
Answer:
proportional
Step-by-step explanation:
3a= 3(5) = 15
15 - - 3 = 15+3 = 18
18/6 = 3
b + a = 5 + -3 = -3 + 5 = 2
3 x 2 = 6
