Tell whether this is a linear relationship, is not one, or it’s impossible to tell. John was 4’ when he was 5 months old, 4’2” when he was 6 months old, and 5’ when he was one year old (John is a snake).

Answer:

Explanation:

so John (lol...who names a snake John)....ok...so at 5 months he was 4 ft...and at 6 months, he was 4'2....means he is growing at a rate of 2 inches per month. So if he continues to grow at 2 inches per month, then this is linear...but if he doesn't, its not linear.

So from 6 months to 1 year, is a period of 6 months...and if he grows at 2 inches per month, in 6 months he should have grown (6 * 2) = 12 inches.

4'2" + 12 inches = 4 ft 14 inches = 5 ft 2 inches......but he is not 5'2" at age 1, he is only 5 ft.....so NO, this is NOT linear.
