Question

the graph shows the number of centimeters a particular plant grows over time. answer parts a and b.
a. what is the slope of the line?
the slope is
(type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify two points

From the graph, the line passes through (0, 0) and (3, 6) (assuming when x=3 weeks, y=6 cm, as per the grid).

Step2: Use slope formula

Slope formula is $m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. Substituting $(x_1,y_1)=(0,0)$ and $(x_2,y_2)=(3,6)$: $m = \frac{6 - 0}{3 - 0} = \frac{6}{3} = 2$.
