Question:
In Colorado spring has arrived when the bluebell first flowers. Figure 1.29 shows the date (days after Jan 1) that the first flower is sighted in one location as a function of the first date (days after Jan 1) of bare (snowfree) ground.
(a) If the first date of bare ground is 140, how many days later is the first bluebell flower sighted?
(b) Find the slope of the line, including units.
(c) What does the sign of the slope tell you about bluebells?
(d) Find the equation of the line.
