Question

Create a situation for y=5+3x

Answer 1

A word problem?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

"A plant is currently 5 cm tall and grows at 3 cm every week. How tall will the plant be in 3 weeks?"

Answer 4

y = 5 + 3x
y is the height of the plant, x is the number of weeks.

Answer 5

Thanks! and what would the slope and y-intercept be?

Answer 6

slope is the "3"... that's the RATE at which the plant grows.
the y-intercept is the height of the plant at this moment... (when x=0)
