Question

The yearly production of a 5 foot orange tree is 24
pounds of oranges. A 17 foot tree produces 100 pounds.
Let h represent the height of an orange tree and p
the number of pounds of oranges produced. Use the
information to answer the questions shown below.

A) List the ordered pairs (h,p)

What is the ordered pair for the first tree?
(5,24)

What is the second ordered pair?
(17,100)

B) Find the point-slope form of an equation of the
line through the two ordered pairs.

A. p=19/3h-23/3 B. p-24=-19/3(h-5)
C. p-24=19/3(h-5) D. p-5=3/19(h-24)

C) Use the equation from part B)

Answer 1

p-30=68/9(h-6) I need to no the answer by using the equation to predict the number of pounds of orange produced by an 18 foot tree; a 20 foot tree
