For 5 a, the y intercept is 2, because when x is 0, y is 2. The growth is 5, because the y values increase by 5 whenever x is increased by 1.
For 5 b, This problem is linear because it goes up or down a set amount (it's not exponential). Since this is a linear equation, we can use slope intercept form to represent this. Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope (rise over run) and b is the y intercept. Plugging in the slope and y-intercept, we get an equation of y=5x+2
For 5 c, we can plug 52 into the equation we just made. 52=5x+2 -2 -2 50=5x [tex]
\frac{50}{5}= \frac{5x}{5}[/tex] 10=x
