Answer:
8 cm
m = -------------- This is the desired rate of change, the amount the plant
5 wk grows per 1 week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving from point (0, 0) to point (5, 8), we see that the x-coordinate (the 'run') increases by 5 wk and the y-coordinate (the 'rise') increases by 8 cm. Thus we have the rate of change
8 cm
m = -------------- This is the desired rate of change, the amount the plant
5 wk grows per 1 week.
