Q. Katie is measured every year at her annual checkup. When she was 1111, she was 5757 inches tall. When she was 1212, she was 5959 inches tall. She just turned 1313, and now she is 6363 inches tall. Is the relationship between Katie's age and her height a linear relationship?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)yes\newline(B)no\newlineNow, justify your answer.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Katie's height increased by the same amount each year.\newline(B)Katie's height increased by a different amount each year.\newline(C)Katie got taller every year.\newline(D)Katie's age increased by 11 every year.
  1. Calculate Change in Height: Calculate the change in height from age 1111 to 1212.\newlineChange = Height at 1212 - Height at 1111 = 5959 inches - 5757 inches = 22 inches.
  2. Compare Yearly Changes: Calculate the change in height from age 1212 to 1313.\newlineChange = Height at 1313 - Height at 1212 = 6363 inches - 5959 inches = 44 inches.
  3. Compare Yearly Changes: Calculate the change in height from age 1212 to 1313. \newlineChange = Height at 1313 - Height at 1212 = 6363 inches - 5959 inches = 44 inches. Compare the yearly changes to determine if they are the same.\newlineYear 1111 to 1212: Increase = 22 inches.\newlineYear 1212 to 1313: Increase = 44 inches.\newlineSince 22 inches 131344 44 inches, the increases are not the same each year.
