Answer:
Which plant was taller when Nara got the plants? C. They were equally tall
Which plant grew faster? B. The second plant
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope of the first plant :
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2- x1)
m = (36 - 34)/(15 - 10) = 0.4
y-intercept of the first plant :
y = m*x + b
b = y1 - m*x1
b = 34 - 0.4*10 = 30
From the picture we can see that the y-intercept of the second plant is 30 cm
Y-intercept represents plant heights when Nara got the plants; then they were equally tall
From the picture we can see that second plant grew 2 cm in 2 days; then its slope is 2/2 = 1
Slope measures how fast each plant grew; then the second plant grew faster
Hello!
h = -9.7 - 9.7
h = -19.4
Enjoy.
Grid lines to the right represent positive numbers for the first coordinate. 3 of them will put you on a grid line with a value of 3×0.5 = 1.5.
You now know enough to select the correct answer, ...
... (1.5, -2.5)
_____
You can confirm this is the correct answer by figuring the second coordinate. Down represents negative numbers, so down 5 units is -(5×0.5) = -2.5. This matches the second coordinate of the chosen answer.
-3 • (5x + 2y = 7)
-15x - 6y = -21
-2x + 6y = 9
__________
-17x = -12
x = 12/17
5(12/17) + 2y = 7
2y = 7 - 60/17
2y = 3.47
y = 1.735
