Question

2 inches tall on week 4 3 inches tall on week 6 4 inches tall on
week 8

Answer 1

The linear relation of the height as a function of the number of weeks is:

y = 0.5*x

How to find the linear relation?

A general linear relation is written as:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope.

If we know that the line passes through two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope is:

$a = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

In this case, we have the points of the form (week, height).

(4, 2)

(6, 3)

(8, 4)

If we use any two of these we can get the slope, so using the first two:

a = (3 - 2)(6 - 4) = 1/2 = 0.5

y = 0.5*x + b

To get the value of b, we can use the first point, it says that when x = 4, we have y = 2, then:

2 = 0.5*4 + b

2 = 2 + b

0 = b

Then the linear relation of the height as a function of the number of weeks is:

y = 0.5*x
