Question

Hailey’s new puppy, Sparky, weighed 4 pounds at six weeks old. If the puppy gains 2.5 pounds each month, at how many months will Sparky weigh 14 pounds? Is this situation modeled by a linear function or an exponential function?

Answer 1

ok u need an explanation, or a quick answer

Answer 2

either one i just need to understand so explanation

Answer 3

this is modeled ny a linear function
Slope-intercept form y=mx+y-intercept
the y intercept is 4 for you started with four pounds
your m(slope) is 2.5 per month
so 2.5x4=10
10+4=14
so 4 months to increase by 10 pounds
and 1.5 months to increase by 4
so 4+1.5=5.5 months the answer
