The following equation can be used to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old: y=2.79x+25.64, where x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches). what does the slope represent? interpret the slope in the cintext of the problem. what does the y-intercept represent in this problem? intercept the y-intercept in the context of the problem.

The standard linear equation is given by :-

, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given equation to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old:

, where x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches).

By comparing this equation to the standard linear equation, we have

Slope = 2.79 and y-intercept = 25.64

The slope tells that the rate of change of average height of boys with respect to age is 2.79 .

The y-intercept tells that the initial average height of boys =25.64 inches

answer: t=3

step-by-step explanation:

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
