Find the height of Plant B after 2, 6, and 10 months, so that we can plot the relationship between time and height for Plant B on a coordinate plane.

Answer 1

To find the height of Plant B at different time intervals (2, 6, and 10 months) using the formula provided:

\[ h = 8 + t \]

we can plug in the values of \( t \).

1. For \( t = 2 \): \[ h = 8 + 2 = 10 \ \text{cm} \]

2. For \( t = 6 \): \[ h = 8 + 6 = 14 \ \text{cm} \]

3. For \( t = 10 \): \[ h = 8 + 10 = 18 \ \text{cm} \]

Now we have the heights for Plant B after 2, 6, and 10 months:

• At \( t = 2 \) months, \( h = 10 \) cm
• At \( t = 6 \) months, \( h = 14 \) cm
• At \( t = 10 \) months, \( h = 18 \) cm

You can now plot these points on a coordinate plane with time in months on the x-axis and height in cm on the y-axis:

• (2, 10)
• (6, 14)
• (10, 18)
