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 = = 2
The linear equation of growth in Plant 1 is;
= 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.

Explanation:
Just a note on writing down these expressions: I recommend using parentheses whenever you can to avoid misinterpretation. An expression 1/x-1/y / 1/x+1/y could be interpreted by someone as 1/x-(1/y / 1/x)+1/y, which is a different thing.
