a linear function g models the growth of your hair. On average, the lenth of a hair strand increases 1.25 centimeters every month.
a. graph g when g(0) = 10
b. identify the slope and y- intercept of the graph
c. by how much, in inches, does the length of a hair strand increase each month?
y = length of hair in cm starting at 10cm
x = months
y = 1.25 x + 10 slope = 1.25 y intercept is when x = 0 and is given as 10 cm
1.25 cm/month / 2.54 cm/inch =~ 1/2 inch/month
Here is the graph:
