When spencer was 5, he was 28 inches tall. today he is 5 feet 3 inches tall. what is the percent increase in spencer’s height?
i appreciate any ! you!

The percentage increase in Spencer’s height is 125 %

Solution:

Initial height of spencer = 28 inches  

Increased height of spencer = 5 feet 3 inches  

= 5 feet + 3 inches  

(5 feet = 5 ×12=60 inches)

= 60  + 3

do i do it on a graph?

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
