Construct a linear model from a description

Question 1 of 8

Calculator allowed

Let \(H\) represent height in cm, and let \(w\) represent time elapsed in weeks. One unit of \(w\) represents 1 week

At the start of the observations, a sunflower has a height of 26 cm. Its height then increases by 3 cm per week

Fractional input values are permitted within the stated interval

The linear model is claimed for \(0 \le w \le 16\)

(a)2 marks

Find the constant term and the signed coefficient for the model

\[H=a+bw\]
(b)1 mark

What height does the model give at \(w=5\)?
