The y-intercept is 3 feet. This means that when the time is 0 years, the height of the tree is 3 feet.

To find the slope, we need to calculate the change in height over the change in time.

Slope = (Change in y) / (Change in x) = (9-3) / (4-0) = 6/4 = 3/2

This means that the slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year. Therefore, the slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year.

I apologize for the error in my previous response.

The y-intercept is 3 feet. This means that when the time is 0 years, the height of the tree is 3 feet.

To find the slope, we need to calculate the change in height over the change in time.

Slope = (Change in y) / (Change in x) = (9-3) / (4-0) = 6/4 = 1.5

This means that the slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year. Therefore, the slope is 1.5 feet every 1 year.
