Question

Given the points (0,0) and (5,3), how many centimeters does the plant grow per week?

Answer 1

0.6 cm per week

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of centimeters the plant grows per week, we find the slope of the pair of points given.

Using the point (0,0) and (5,3)

`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Changed\text{ in x-axis}} \\ =(3-0)/(5-0) \\ =(3)/(5) \\ =0.6 \end{gathered}`

The plant grows 0.6 cm per week.
