X = Months of growth
Y = Length of hair (inches)
(3,8), (5,11), (8,15.5), (9,17), (15,26)
A. The equation of the line would be y = 3.5 x + 3/2
B. The y-intercept (0, 3.5) means that at the starting time, there was 3.5 inches of hair
C. The equation of the line would be y = 3/2 x + 3 1/2
D. The slope 3/2 means that hair can grow 1.5 inches every month
E. The slope 3/2 means that 2 inches of growth happens every 3 months.
F. The y-intercept (0, 3.5) represents the amount of time it takes to grow 3 1/2 inches of hair.
The correct statements are:
B. The y-intercept (0, 3.5) means that at the starting time, there was 3.5 inches of hair
D. The slope 3/2 means that hair can grow 1.5 inches every month
F. The y-intercept (0, 3.5) represents the amount of time it takes to grow 3 1/2 inches of hair.
