Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 5.4 feet is the fixed part of the expression

increases by 5.6feet per year is the variable part of the expression

5.4+3.6y

5.4+3.6*y

y represents the number of years= 0, 1, 2, 3..............etc

5.4 as the fixed part is always on its own in an expression without a variable.

only the variable component has a variable next to it and in this case it is y
