Question

a boa constructor is 18 inches long at birth and grows 8 inches per year. Write an equation in slope intercept form that represent the length of a boa constrictor that is x years old? not in feet.

Answer 1

slope intercept form is: y = mx + b

b: the starting length is 18

m: grows 8in per year

x: age (in years)

equation : y= 8x + 18

Explanation:

Answer 2

what we know is...
slope intercept form is: y = mx + b
b: the starting length is 18
m: grows 8in per year
x: age (in years)

so the equation would be: y= 8x + 18
