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: By definition two lines are said to be parallel when the distance between two lines is same when measured from any point on one line.
However the criteria for intersection is that the distance between two lines should change and eventually should change to zero at intersection point.
Step-by-step explanation:
.
Since the Power is directly proportional to the velocity, their ratio

is constant.

which is a proportion:
500 : 1000 = x : 1728
that can be easily solved:
x = (500×1728)/1000 = 864kW
