Six 2-foot tall pine tress were planted during the school's observation of Earth Awareness Week in 1990. The trees have grown at an average rate of 3/4 foot per year. What Linear equation in y=mx+b y=mx+b form gives the height of the tree in terms of number of years since they were planted?

The linear equation that gives the height of the tree in terms of number of years since they were planted is y = 3/4x + 2  OR y = 0.75x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the linear equation, y =mx + b

This is the equation of a straight line where m is the gradient and b is the intercept on the y-axis.

In the equation, y represents the height of the trees after x years.

m is the gradient, that is, the rate at which the trees are growing.

and b is the height at the time they were planted, that is, at time x = 0.

From the question,

Six 2-foot tall pine trees were planted during the school's observation of Earth Awareness Week in 1990, that is,

b = 2

Also, from the question,

The trees have grown at an average rate of 3/4 foot per year, that is,

m = 3/4

Hence, the equation becomes

y = 3/4x + 2  ()

OR

y = 0.75x + 2

Hence, the linear equation that gives the height of the tree in terms of number of years since they were planted is y = 3/4x + 2  OR y = 0.75x + 2.

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16

hope i'm right

1) 2/5

2) zero=0/1

3) zero=0/2

4) -4/5

5) undefined=3/0
