A certain species of tree grows an average of 0.5 cm per week. Write an equation for the sequence that represents the weekly height of this tree in centimeters if the measurements begin when the tree is 800 centimeters tall

Question

anonymous · Answer

y=mx+b 

b will be your constant and in this case it's how tall the tree was when it started.
b=800 cm

m will be your slope in this case or how much it grows per week.
m=0.5 cm

x is the number of weeks so we leave at x because we can pick any number for x

y is the total after a certain number of weeks.

y=0.5x+800
