Question

Isaac's grandparents get him a puppy for his thirteenth birthday, and he names the puppy Sparky. When Sparky is 2 months old, she weighs 6 pounds. When she is 3 months old, she weighs 8 pounds. In this relationship, x represents Sparky's age (in months), and y represents her weight (in pounds). Graph two points for this relationship and the line passing through them.

a) Yes
b) No
c) Not enough information

Answer 1

To graph the relationship between Sparky's age and weight, we need to plot the given data points and draw a line passing through them. However, we do not have enough information to find the equation of the line.

Step-by-step explanation:

To graph the relationship between Sparky's age and weight, we can use the given data points. When Sparky is 2 months old, she weighs 6 pounds. When she is 3 months old, she weighs 8 pounds. We can plot these points on a coordinate plane, where the x-coordinate represents the age in months and the y-coordinate represents the weight in pounds. The two points are (2, 6) and (3, 8).

Now, we can draw a line passing through these two points. The line represents the relationship between Sparky's age and weight. The equation of the line can be determined by finding the slope and the y-intercept using the formula y = mx + b. However, we do not have enough information to find the equation of the line. Therefore, the answer is c) Not enough information.
