I need help on Part C!! PLEASE!

The Barker family just left the local pet store with Lucky, their new family dog. The pet store owner told the Barker family that for the next 6 months, Lucky would grow at an average rate of 9 pounds per month. Currently, Lucky is 2 months old and weighs 3 pounds.

Part A: Complete the given table that represents Lucky's current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months.
Part B: Graph the data in the table from Part A. Be sure to label the graph and all data points.
Part C: Create a linear model that represents the Lucky's current weight, in pounds, as a function of his age, in months.
Part D: If Lucky continues to grow at the rate of 9 pounds per month beyond the expected six months, how much will Lucky weigh by the time he is one year old?
