3. I am growing a plant. When I bought the plant it was 6 inches tall and I predict it will grow 1.5 inches per day.

What would x represent?

What would y represent?

What is slope or m?

What is initial value?

Write equation:

1 answer

X represents the number of days the plant has been growing.
Y represents the height of the plant in inches.
The slope or m would be the rate of growth of the plant, which is 1.5 inches per day.
The initial value would be the height of the plant when it was bought, which is 6 inches.

Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the plant would be:
Y = 1.5X + 6
