Let's say is "x", so, then "x" is the 100%, and we know that the 60% is 120, what the dickens is "x" anyway?
Try to divided it and see what is the outcome
First you have to find the slope by subtracting y2 in this case (2) from y1 (8) dividing it over the subtraction of x2 (-8) and x1 (4) then once you get that you pick a point whether it’s (4,8) or (-8,2), plot it using the slope given to you and you’re done.
To find the answer, you find out the height of the plants for each week until they're the same.
Equation: Growth × Week + Original Height
For Kia: 2/3w + 8 1/5
For Lyric: 1/6w + 10 7/10
Kia:
Week 0 = 8 1/5 in.
Week 1 = 8 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 9 8/15 in.
Week 3 = 10 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.
Lyric:
Week 0 = 10 7/10 in.
Week 1 = 10 13/15 in.
Week 2 = 11 1/30 in.
Week 3 = 11 1/5 in.
Week 4 = 11 11/30 in.
Week 5 = 11 8/15 in.
Solution: 5 Weeks
