Question

Zoey bought a plant and planted it in a pot near a window in her house. Let H represent the height of the plant, in inches, and t represents months since Zoey bought the plant. The table below has select values showing the linear relationship between t and H. Determine the initial height of your plant when it was purchased.

a) 16.5 inches
b) 17 inches
c) 17.25 inches
d) 18 inches

Answer 1

The initial height of the purchased plant is 16.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the initial height of the plant when it was purchased, we need to find the value of H when t is 0.00 months.

From the given table, we can see that when t is 0, H is 16.5 inches. Therefore, the initial height of the plant when it was purchased is 16.5 inches.
