Question

Which table represents a linear function?

Answer 1

In science, rate is a quantity measured with respect to another measured quantity. For the data given, we get the rate of each by calculating the slope. We do as follows:

Megan's rate = 12 - 4.5 / 4 -1 = 2.5 inches per week

Suzanne's rate = 11 - 5 / 4-1 = 0.5 inches per week

Therefore, the plant that grew at a faster rate would be Megan’s at 2.5 inches per week in conclusion.
