we get that the first bowl counts for 2 inches and then 4 bowls count 3 inches. So the equation is
[tex]y=2+\frac{3}{4}(x-1)=2-\frac{3}{4}+\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{4}x[/tex]
b) x represents the number of bowls starting in 1
y represents the height of the tower of bowls
c)
[tex]y=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{4}\cdot10=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{30}{4}=\frac{35}{4}[/tex]
so the height is 35/4 inches
