Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To get our equation, we must first convert our values from inches to feet.

8/12 = 2/3 or 0.666667...

18/12 = 3/2 or 1.5

Now that we have our inches converted to feet, we can plug our values into the equation y = m(x) + b.

The answer is y= 8x + 18. We know there a boa constrictor starts at 18 inches. They also grow at 8 inches per year. X stands for how old it is.
