Answer: 28.4375 is the correct answer Explanation: because in one month they grow 3.25 so in 8.75 months they grow 28.4375.
The midpoint would be (-2, -1)
A = L * H
A = 65
L = 2H - 3
65 = H(2H - 3)
65 = 2H^2 - 3H
-2H^2 + 3H + 65 = 0
(-Hh + 13)(H + 5) = 0
-2H + 13 = 0
-2H = -13
H = -13/-2
H = 6.5 <== height is 6.5 inches
H + 5 = 0
H = -5....this wont work because it is negative
L = 2H - 3
L = 2(6.5) - 3
L = 13 - 3
L = 10 <== length is 10 inches
To determine the location of a point on a graph, the first number of the ordered pair is a x-coordinate which means the first number you would look for would be the horizontal line, or the x-axis. The second number is the y-coordinate which means that you would look on the vertical line, or the y-axis. You would go on the horizontal line first, then from there go up to the y-coordinate and place your point. (I'm sorry if it's long but you can try to shorten it.)
Hope this helped!
Have a nice day!
