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

time (months) plant height (cm)
2 16
4 32
6 48
8 64

a. y – 16 = 8(x – 2)
b. y – 16 = 8x – 2
c. y + 16 = 8(x + 2)
d. the relationship is nonlinear.

Option A is correct.

is the equation represent the point slope form gives the plant's height at any time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope intercept form: For any two points and   then,

the general form

for linear equations;  where m is the slope given by:

Consider any two points from the table;

let A= (2 , 16) and B =(4, 32)

First calculate the slope of the line AB:

= 8

Therefore, slope of the line m = 8

Then,

the equation of line is:

Substitute the value of m=8 and (2, 16) above we get;

Therefore, the equation in point slope form which gives the plant's height at any time is; , where x is the time(months) and y is the plant height (cm)

tell you what. i'll find the length of the medians and you can fill in the blanks where they belong.

br

b = (2a,0)

r = (a/2,b/2) remember these things are medians. they go to the 1/2 way point of the line opposite the vertex they face.

br^2 =   (2a - a/2)^2 + (0 - b/2)^2

br^2 = (3/2 a) ^2 + b^2 / 4

br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + b^2 / 4   we need to find some relationship between a and b.

let's try ab = bc  

ab = 2a

bc = (2a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2

bc = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

ab = bc

2a = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) square both sides.

4a^2 = a^2 + b^2 subtract a^2 from both sides.

sqrt(3a^2) = sqrt(b^2)

sqrt(3)a = b

let's put b into br^2

br^2 = 9/4 a^2 + 3b^2 / 4

br^2 = 12 a^2 / 4

br^2 = 3a^2 

br = sqrt(3) * a

cp

c = (a,b) ; p = (a,0) this is another application of the distance formula, and it is a good one.

cp^2 = (a - a)^2 + (b - 0)^2

cp^2 = 0 + b^2

cp^2 = b^2 which you can see from the diagram. 

cp = sqrt(b^2)

cp = b but b = sqrt(3) * a 

cp = sqrt(3)*a

aq

a = (0,0)

q = (3/2) a, b/2

aq^2 = (3a/2 -0)^2 + (b/2 - 0)^2

aq^2 = 9a^2/4 + b^2/4

but b = sqrt(3) * a 

aq^2 = 9a^2 / 4 + (sqrt(3)*a)^2 /4

aq^2 = 9 a^2/ 4 + 3 a^2 / 4

aq^2 = 12 a^2/4

aq^2 = 3 a^2

aq = (sqrt  3) * a which agrees with the other two.

22, 28, 34, 40, 46

b)   f(n) = 6n + 16

n = what is the number of the row ( 22 would be row 1) so if we replaced n with 1, we would get 22

c)   the 14th row will have 100 seats

(1)   (2)   (3)   (4)   (5)   (6)   (7)   (8)   (9)   (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)

22 | 28 | 34 | 40 | 46 | 52 | 58 | 64 | 70 | 76 | 82 | 88 | 94 | 100
