Answer 1

Answer: equation: y = 2.5x + 46

slope: 2.5

y intercept: 46

she will be 8 months old by the time she is 66 cm

Step-by-step explanation: the eqation is written in y= mx+b format, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. You can solve the last part of the problem by using this equation and subbing 66 in for y.

y = 2.5x + 46

66 = 2.5x + 46

20 = 2.5x

8 = x
