Question

A biologist has been observing a tree’s height. 1313 months into the observation, the tree was 18.2918.29 feet tall. 1919 months into the observation, the tree was 19.6719.67 feet tall.

 

Let ? be the number of months passed since the observations started, and let ? be the tree’s height at that time. Use a linear equation to model the tree’s height as the number of months pass.

 
    1. This line’s slope-intercept equation is,(fill in the blank)     .
 
    1. 2727 months after the observations started, the tree would be,     (fill inthe blank)               feet in height.
 
  1. (fill in the blank)      months after the observation started, the tree would be 28.64 feet tall.
