PLEASE HELP MEH!!!! I CAN"T FIGURE THIS ONE OUT!!!!!



Steven recorded the growth of a plant over 10 wk for his science project. He made a graph that shows how much the plant grew each week. The plant was 2 in. tall when Steven started his project. At week 5, the plant was 8 in. tall. Complete the equation that represents Steven’s situation.
y=_____ x+_____

Answer 1

@KiaKat Can you help?

Answer 2

okay so you're going to have to plot this as points on a coordinate plane

Answer 3

you're already give the coordinates for the two points you need to make a line

Answer 4

On the screen it gives a positive line... I think that the equation may be y=1.2x+2

Answer 5

one sec

Answer 6

Okay

Answer 7

how'd you get 1/2 for the slope??

Answer 8

Not 1/2 its 1.2...... I got that by counting the rise=6 and the run=5 then dividing 6/5=1.2....

Answer 9

oH, pfft yeah.

but you put it in slope form, so it stays as a fraction

Answer 10

so that was correct. it's 6/5

Answer 11

Oh... Okay so it'd be y=6/5x+2?

Answer 12

yep

Answer 13

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Answer 14

haha, you're welcome!!

Answer 15

But 1.2 was the correct answer..... But still Thank you bunches!!

Answer 16

which one was the answer? 1.2 or 6/5

Answer 17

@foxyNinja @KiaKat

Answer 18

but I got 1.25 as slope....

Answer 19

@edennoyes It was 1.2
