A giant bamboo plant grew an average of 18 centimeters per year.The botanist started measuring the plant when it was 5 centimeters tall. If "Y" represents the number of years the botanist has measured the plant,what expression represents its height? Solve,and show each step.
m=the slope of the line, in this case, the slope is equal to "18"; (18 cm/ year). b=the initial heigth, in this case, the initial heigth is equal to "5" (5 cm).
