A scientist created a scatter plot to represent the heights of four plants over time. Then, she found a line of best-fit to model the height in centimeters of each plant after x days. The equations of each trend line are given in the table.

Trend Line Equations
Plant
Equation of trend line
1.
y = three-halves x + three-halves
2.
y = 2 x + 1
3.
y = one-half x + 3
4.
y = three-halves x + 1

According to the trend line equations, which plants are growing at the same
rate per day?

A. 1 and 2
B. 1 and 4
C. 2 and 3
D. 2 and 4

Ais the correct answer

The slope best fit isc. 1/6 mile per hour

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
