Question

Based on the equation you created, what would be the ex-

pected average number of leaves on a tree 8 weeks after
spring has started?
Hint: Use the y = mx + b equation you wrote for the last
question, and evaluate it for x = 8.

Answer 1

Recall that the equation we created was:

y = 2x + 10

where y represents the number of leaves and x represents the number of weeks since spring has started.

To find the expected average number of leaves on a tree 8 weeks after spring has started, we need to evaluate the equation for x = 8:

y = 2(8) + 10

y = 16 + 10

y = 26

Therefore, the expected average number of leaves on a tree 8 weeks after spring has started is 26.
