Question 10 • 26/27 ALGEBRA II A
The tree’s constant growth rate is (16 − 7) ÷ (9 − 6) = 3 feet per year. Using the point (9, 16), the equation is y − 16 = 3(x − 9), which is choice B. Expanding gives y = 3x − 11, which is choice C. Choice A uses a point that is not on this line, and choice D has the wrong slope.
