Use the table to answer the question.
x (time in years) 0 2 4
y (height of tree in feet) 3 6 9
Interpret the y-intercept and slope in the context of this situation. For the slope, give the most simplified rate using whole numbers.(2 points)
The y-intercept is
feet. The slope is
feet every
year(s).
The y-intercept is 3 feet. This means that when the time is 0 years, the tree height is 3 feet.
The slope is 3 feet every 2 years. This means that for every 2 years that pass, the tree height increases by 3 feet.
