A plant currently measures 5.5 inches tall and will grow at a rate of 1 inch per week. Andrew wants to graph this information fo
r his Science Fair project. If x represents the number of weeks and y represents the height of the plant, which choice below correctly describes the y-intercept in this relationship? (5.5, 0)
when they ask for a y-intercept, x is always zero, so now we eliminate two of the answers, and we will only have (0, 1) or (0, 5.5). At the beginning of the question it said a plant is currently at 5.5, so it started as 5.5 (0, 5.5)
