Question

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.

Answer 1

Complete the equation that represents Steven’s situation.

y = ? x + ?

Answer 2

firstly, can you find the slope of the line? :)

Answer 3

6/5

Answer 4

i'm thinking this is the answer y = 6/5 x +1.2

Answer 5

oops sorry i mean y = 1.2x +2

Answer 6

i think

Answer 7

slope = 8 - 2 / 5 - 0 = 6/5 = 1.2 (basically meaning that m = 1.2)
y-intercept: b = 2

y = mx + b
so, y = 1.2x + 2
you're correct :) good job and sorry for my slow reply

Answer 8

Thank You! :)

Answer 9

you're welcome :)!!
