o. Shannon's hair is 12 inches long and grows 0.25 inch per
month. In an equation that represents the length y of her
hair after x months, what number represents the slope?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.25 (inches?)

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation is:

y=mx+b

y is the length of her hair, the dependent variable, the outcome

m is the slope, which is in this case the growth of her hair in a month

x is the independent variable, or the number of months

b is how long her hair is to start with, which is 12 in

we are looking for m, which is the growth of her hair per month, which is given as 0.25 inches, so that would be the answer
