Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8), (2, 6.6), (3, 8.4). Plant B: A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Weeks with entries 2, 3, 4. Column 2 is labeled Height (inches) with entries 7.3, 8.7, 10.1.
