Question

marcia has a sunflower garden. the plants are currently 36 inches tall and are growing at a rate of 4 inches each week. write an equation that represents the height, h, of the sunflower plants, where w is the number of weeks.

Answer 1

H=4w+36

Explanation:

4 is the slope and 36 is the y-intercept.

Answer 2

h = 4w + 36

example : Lets say that it has been 2 weeks...how tall are the plants now ?
simply sub in 2 for w.
h = 4(2) + 36
h = 8 + 36
h = 44......so at 2 weeks. the plants are 44 inches tall.
