Each year, Sandy measures the height of a tree growing in her yard. The graph shows the yearly height. Choose any two points on the line and draw a slope triangle. Translate the slope triangle along the graph to explain whether or not Sandy’s tree grows at a constant rate.

I don't know how to put the graph in. I'm sorry. BTW, This is on Iready

Because of its uneven slopes across the graph, the tree does not develop at a steady pace.

In a proportional relationship, the ratio between the output variable y and the input variable x is constant, and is called constant of proportionality, given as follows:

k = y/x.

Then the equation is given as follows:

y = kx.

which, like in this instance, is a particular example of a linear function with zero intercept.

Three points from the graph given at the end of the answer are given as follows:

(0,0), (2,2), (7,10).

Given two points, the slope may be determined as follows as it is equal to the product of the changes in y and x.

Between (0,0) and (2,2): m = (2 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 1.

Between (0,0) and (7,10): m = (10 - 0)/(7 - 0) = 1.43.

Different slopes, hence the growth rate of the tree is not constant.
