Question

Lynn is tracking the progress of her plants growth. the plant is 5 cm. it grows 2 cm per day

write the equation in slope intercept form that represents the plants height after any given day

please help

Answer 1

y= 2x+5

Explanation:

The first step would be to find the slope. The y-intercept of this graph/coordinate plane is (0,5) because the growth of the plant is already 5cm before she started tracking the progress. As we need two points to find the slope the second coordinate will be (1,7) (the first day she tracks the plant). So to find the slope -> y2-y1/x2-x1= 7-5/1-0=2/1=2. The slope intercept form is y=mx+b, (m being the slope and b being the y in the y-intercept). So the slope intercept form will be y=2x+5. Hope this helps!
