There are 2 leaves along 3 in. of an ivy vine. There are 14 leaves along 15 in. of the same vine. Which equation models the number of leaves y along x in. of vine?
Doing a bit of guess and check, we can notice that the amount of leaves is one less than the number of inches of vine. Writing it out, we get x-1=y (the amount of inches-1=the amount of leaves)
