Question

A marine biologist is interested in the daily percent intake of a particular nutrient and how it relates to growth of tiger

shrimp. She finds the growth of the tiger shrimp, G, is dependent on the daily percent intake of this nutrient, X, and can be
modeled by the function
Go) = 2 +7x.​

Answer 1

See picture attached

Explanation:

The missing question is:

Draw the graph of the growth function by plotting its G-intercept and another point.

Given the function:

G(x) = 2 + 7x

its G-intercept is found when variable x is equal to zero.

G(0) = 2 + 7(0) = 2

Then, the G-intercept is point (0, 2)

To graph a line, two points are needed. Replacing x = 1 into the equation, we get:

G(1) = 2 + 7(1) = 9

So, point (1, 9) is on the line. The graph of the function is the line that passes through these two points, as can be seen in the picture attached.
