Suppose a vine maple grows in height linearly. Four weeks after it is planted it stands 10.67 inches, and after seven weeks it is 15.67 inches tall. Write an equation that models the growth, in inches, of the vine maple as a function of time, in weeks. 1. What is the slope of the function? 2. How tall was the tree when it was first planted? 3. Write the function 4. How tall will the vine maple be after 16 weeks?

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

1). Slope = 4

2). Height= 5.67 inches

3).Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

4).Height= 30.67 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

At week four

10.67= x+4y

Week 7

15.67= x+7y

Solving both equation simultaneously

3y= 5

Y= 5/3

15.67= x+7y

15.67= x+7(5/3)

15.67-35/3= x

15.67-11.67= x

4= x

The modeled equation is

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Where z is the number of weeks

Slope of the function as compared to y= mx+c is 4

The first week of it's plantation

Height (z)= 4+5/3(z)

Height (1)= 4+5/3(1)

Height= 5.67 inches

After 16 weeks

Height (z)= 4+(5/3)(z)

Height (16)= 4+(5/3)(16)

Height= 30.67 inches
