born and grows an average of foof each
month) What is the relationship between x, the
number of months and y, the height of the
giraffe?

2. What is the slope of the
graph, and what does it
represent?
Use the representations in the example above to answer 1-5.
1. Explain how you found
ordered pairs to create your
graph.
I used the months
formyx and height
for my 'y"
4. What does the ordered pair (9, 10.5)
represent in the context of the situation?
q-months
10.5-height
45678
height (y)
This slope shows how
much its growth
through the months

3. What is the y-intercept of
the graph, and what does it
represent?
5. If the giraffe is 12 feet fall, how many
months old is it?
12 months
