Houldin adopted a black lab puppy from a local breeder. He recorded the puppy's height over many months and determine the equation h=15m+2 to represent the puppy's growth. In the equation, h represents the height of the puppy in feet and m represents the number of months. Part 1: Identify the slope and y-intercept of the equation. Slope = y-Intercept = Question 2Part 2:

1 answer

In the equation \( h = 15m + 2 \):

Part 1:

  • The slope (m) is 15. This means that for each month, the puppy's height increases by 15 feet.
  • The y-intercept is 2. This represents the height of the puppy when \( m = 0 \) (i.e., at birth or when he was adopted).

Summary:

  • Slope = 15
  • y-Intercept = 2
