If when 46 trees are planted the yield per tree is 60 pounds of peaches and when 50 trees are planted the yield is 52 pounds per tree, the equation htat relates w to t is _________.

Answer 1

if the relationship is linear, it means that it can be represented by a straight line.

y = mx+b
or in your case,
w = mt+b
substitute the two values of w and t, and find m and b
