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

Question

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.

Answer 1

Part 1:

In the equation $h=15m+2$, you can identify the slope and y-intercept as follows:

• Slope (m) = 15
• y-intercept = 2

Part 2:

The y-intercept of the line means the puppy is 2 feet tall at 0 months.

Part 3:

The slope tells us that the puppy grows 15 feet for each month.

Here's the summarized information:

• Slope = 15
• y-Intercept = 2
• The puppy is 2 feet tall at 0 months.
• The puppy grows 15 feet for each month.

(Note: It is unlikely for a black lab puppy to grow to such heights, but this interpretation strictly follows the mathematical representation provided.)
