A botanist collected data on the growth of sunflowers to maturity. She modeled the equation y = x + 1 2 for the line of best fit
. The independent variable, x, is time in weeks and the dependent variable, y, is height in feet. What does the slope mean in this context? A) The sunflower's starting height is 1 foot.
B) The sunflower's starting height is 1 2 feet.
C) The sunflower's height increases by an additional 1 foot each week.
D) The sunflower's height increases by an additional 1 2 foot each week.
28,672 feet squared. The area of a rectangle is it's length multiplied by its width, so you would multiple 512 with 56 to get your answer of 28,672. hope this helps :)
