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:
The solution would be (5, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
To use this method, start by multiplying the second equation by -1. Then add the two equations together.
9x + 5y = 35
-2x - 5y = 0
------------------
7x = 35
x = 5
Now that we have the value of x, use it to solve either equation for y.
2x + 5y = 0
2(5) + 5y = 0
10 + 5y = 0
5y = -10
y = -2
Answer:
We are given number of miles the 3 bike trips they took last month = 45.7, 40.9, and 38 miles.
Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers.
Also one kilometer equals 0.621 miles.
From this we can see than 1 kilometer is smaller unit and a mile is a larger unit.
In order to convert number of miles into kilometers, we need to divide each number of mile by 0.621 miles.
We always divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller unit.
Therefore,
Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hopefully this helped, if not HMU and I will get u a better answer.

21 degrees C ????????????
I don't understand. What are the values given? Are they values of an x,y plot?
If you plot them they are a straight line with y =6x - 2.9 but I don't know what you mean by when x=3 and y = 4?
