The function below models the correlation
between the number of hours a plant is kept in
sunlight (x) and the height (y), in mm, to which it
grows:
y = 2 + 4x
What does the y-intercept of this function
represent?
The original height of the plant was 4 mm.
The original height of the plant was 2 mm.
The height of the plant increases by 2 mm for
every hour of sunlight it receives.
The height of the plant increases by 4 mm for
