Answer:
Initial height: 6
How much does it grow per month: 3
<u>↓↓(Number of months </u><u>☆</u><u> Height of the plant)↓↓</u>
<h2>
0 ☆ 6</h2><h2>
1 ☆ 9</h2><h2>
2 ☆ 12</h2><h2>
3 ☆ 15</h2>
Our equation is:
<h2>
H = 3t + 6</h2>
Height = (how much it grows per month)*(number of months) + (inital height)
We can rearrange the initial equation to y=mx+b
y=2x-5
Since perpendicular slopes must equal -1,
x=the perpendicular slope
2x=-1
x=-1/2
(Or you can just take the negative reciprocal above is just the "formula form" for it)
Therefore, the perpendicular slope is -1/2
16) It would be: 6+5+3+2 - 1+3+6+4 = 16 - 14 = 2 in.
17) -8/2 + -6/1 + -9/3+ -6/2 = -4-6-3-3 = -16
