Jeremy is in a growth spurt, and his mother has been measuring his height once a month. When she first measured, Jeremy was 49.5 inches tall, and every month afterward, his height has increased by 0.75 inch each month.

Which equation models Jeremy’s growth spurt, where h represents his height in inches, and m represents time in months?

Responses

h = 0.75m
h, = 0.75, m

h = 0.75m + 49.5
h, = 0.75, m, + 49.5

h = 49.5m
h, = 49.5, m

h = 49.5m + 0.75

The correct equation that models Jeremy's growth spurt is: h = 0.75m + 49.5.
