Conserve Tree Foundation is trying to increase the number of trees in a region that has suffered deforestation. It plants a certain number of trees each year, resulting in a linear growth model. yn = 5t where t represents the time that has passed in years and y, represents the
number of trees planted. In the same region, the number of trees remLning. 12, is inversely proportion to the time elapsed, L. This is
