Considering that the grows at a constant rate we can form an equation where x = how many years after it was planted
and y = its height
Now we just need to find how many feet it grows each year. To do that we just need to compare its height from a certain age to another:
6 years after it was planted : 7 feet,
so x=6 and y = 7
9 years after it was planted: 16 feet
so x= 9 y=16
With thay we can conclude that in 3 years , the tree grew 9 feet. To discover how much the tree grow each year we just nee to divide 9 feet by 3 years which is 3 feet every year.
To write the equatopn now we just need to find the y-intercept which we can discover by setting x to 0:
If in 6 years after the tree was planted it is 7 feet long , we can discover how long it was when it was planted by subtracting 6 years of growth (The slope ) which is 3
7 - 6(years)×3(feet the tree grow each year)
7 - 18 = -11
The tree was -11 feet long when it was planted
which is our y-intercept
( I know it doesnt make sense , but if you apply to a graph it will make more sense )
Now we can make the equation
y = 3x -11
Answer:
14.3
Step-by-step explanation:
9/5= 9.2/x (cross multiply)
5 x 9.2= 46
46 ÷ 9 = 5.1
9.2 + 5.1 = 14.3
Answer:
19.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Volatile, tough, buoyant, strong.
Answer:
A = 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Base = |-2-(-7)| = |-2+7| = 5
equation of the line that includes the base
x = 6 (because it is parallel to y axis)
the height passes to the point (-4,-4) and must be perpendicular to the base
the equation of the line of the base hasn’t the slope expressed, so the line of the height has a slope equal to 0
so the equation of the line is y= -4
the point (6,-4) is where the two lines intercept and it is the point where the height hit the base
height = |-4-6| = 10
A = (base x height)/2 = (5x10)/2 = 25
