Answer:

C. Gregory's graph is incorrect because it shows 2 inches of growth for each week, when it should show 0.75 inches of growth each week

Explanation:

Given that the plant grows 1.5 inches (y) every 2 weeks (x), it means that:

Rate of change = y/x = 1.5/2 = 0.75 inches per week

The graph he should create should have a rate of change of 0.75. that is, it should show 0.75 inches growth for every week.

The graph shown above has a rate of change of 2 inches per week.

Thus, the graph is incorrect. It should be showing 0.75 inches of growth per week instead of 2 inches.
