Help please!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope (m) or rate of growth in Plant 1 is;

m = Change in y ÷ change in x

m =  $\frac{3.5 - 1.5}{1 - 0}$ = 2

The linear equation of growth in Plant 1 is;

$\frac{y - 1.5}{x - 0}$ = 2

y = 2x + 1.5

The equation of growth in Plant 2 is; y = 1.5x + 3 (slope of 1.5)

Since the slope in growth of Plant 1 is greater than that in Plant 2, it implies then that Plant 1 is growing at a faster rate than Plant 2.
