In a class project, Breanne determines that her plant growth can be described by the equation y = 0. 25x + 2 where x = days and y = height of the plant in centimeters,

In the equation, what does 0. 25 represent?


A the growth of the planet each day


B the total height of the plant after x days


C the height of the plant on the first day breanne bagan recording its

growth

Answer: The answer is A. The value 0.25 represents the growth of the plant per day. This means that for each day that passes, the height of the plant increases by 0.25 centimeters. The equation y = 0.25x + 2 is in slope-intercept form, where 0.25 is the slope of the line and represents the rate of change (in this case, the growth rate) and 2 is the y-intercept which represents the initial height of the plant when Breanne started recording its growth.
