Answer:

C) 6 inches

Explanation:

Given function:


Y=1.3x-0.8

The function compares plant height in inches to the age of plant in weeks.

So, we can say


Y represents height of plant in inches.


x represents age of the plant in weeks.

In order to predict the height of the plant in 5 weeks, we will plugin
x=5 in the given function and evaluate
Y


Y=1.3(5)-0.8


Y=6.5-0.8


Y=5.7 inches

Thus the approximate height of plant in 5 weeks would be
\approx 6 inches
