Steven recorded the growth of a plant over 10 weeks for his science project. He made a graph that shows how much the plant grew each week. The plant was 2 in. tall when Steven started his project. At week 5, the plant was 8 in. tall.Which equation represents Steven’s situation, where x is the number of weeks and y is the height of the plant?A. y= 8/5x+2B. y= 6/5x+2C. y= 5/8x+2D. y= 5/6x+2
Accepted Solution
A:
y= 6/5x + 2 If you substitute the points (5,8) you get: 8 = 6/5 × 5 + 2 8 = 6 + 2
