The table shows the height of a plant as it grows. which equation in point slope form gives the plants height at any time?

y - 21 = 7(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we plot the points on a graph having time on x axis and plant height on y axis then the two points will be (3, 21) and (5, 35).

Let the equation of the line is y - y'= m(x - x')

where m = slope of the line

Now slope of the line joining these points 'm' =

m =

m =

m = 7

Now the equation that passes through the point (3, 21) will be y - 21 = 7(x - 3)

Therefore, equation that represents the height of the plant at any time is y - 21 = 7(x - 3)

(0,-3) see attached graph

step-by-step explanation:

a. to solve the system, graph the two equations.

x = y+3 becomes y=x-3 has m=1/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move up 1 unit and 1 unit to the right. plot a point and connect.

y=-4x+3 has m =-4/1 and b=-3. start at (0,-3) on the y-axis and plot a point. then move down four units and to the right 1 unit. plot a point and connect.

the solution is the point (x,y) where the two lines intersect. by the graph below it is (0,-3).

b. to solve by substitution, substitute y = -4x-3 into x= y+3

x= (-4x-3) +3

x=-4x

5x=0

x=0

now substitute x = 0 back in to find y.

y= -4(0)-3

y=0-3

y=-3

solution is (0,-3)

c. use elimination by adding the equations together.

x-y=3

4x+y=-3

5x=0

x=0

then substitute into one equation to find y.

y=-4(0)-3

y=-3
