Use the graph below to describe the linearization of the data. How would you expect the linearization to change if the data were to extend beyond age 20? PLEASE HELP!!

The coordinates of the points in the graph are;

(5, 2), (10, 3.5), (15, 5), 20, 5.5)

The data points are plotted using MS Excel

Given that the height of a person stops increasing beyond around 20 years of age, it is expected that the height will remain slightly the same at 5.5 feet beyond 20 as follows;

(25, 5.5), (30, 5.5), (35, 5.5), (40, 5.5)

Therefore, if the data were to extend beyond 20, the linearization will give a more horizontal line with a gentler slope

Please see attached graphs created with MS Excel

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
