Question

the table shows the circumference of a tree in centimeters, \\(y\\), at \\(x\\) years.

choose the function that represents the data.

\\(y = \frac{x}{2.7}\\)

\\(y = 2.7x\\)

\\(y = 2.7^x\\)

\\(y = 2.7x^2\\)

Explanation:

Calculate the rate of change

$$ m = \frac{13.5 - 0}{5 - 0} = 2.7 $$

Determine the y-intercept

$$ b = 0 $$

Formulate the linear equation

$$ y = 2.7x $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(y = \frac{x}{2.7}\)
  • (B) \(y = 2.7x\) (Correct answer)
  • (C) \(y = 2.7^x\)
  • (D) \(y = 2.7x^2\)
