Practice comparing linear functions of real-world scenarios.
Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8), (2, 6.6), (3, 8.4). Plant B: A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Weeks with entries 2, 3, 4. Column 2 is labeled Height (inches) with entries 7.3, 8.7, 10.1.

In science, students are observing the growth of two plants. Plant A receives sunlight and Plant B does not. The graph and table show the data for this scenario.

What is the initial height of Plant B?
inches

4.5 inches

(From the table, growth = 1.4 in/week. Using 7.3 = 1.4·2 + b gives b = 4.5.)
