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 = 4 + 2x What does the slope of this function represent? (1 point) a The original height of the plant was 4 mm. b The original height of the plant was 2 mm. c The height of the plant increases by 2 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives. d The height of the plant increases by 4 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option C which is the height of the plant increases by 2 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives.

What is an equation?

The equation in mathematics is the relationship between the variables and the number and establishes the relationship between the two or more variables.

Given equation is as follows:-

  • y = 4 + 2x

Here x is the variable which depends on the amount of sunlight and 4 is the original height of the plant so as the sunlight varies the value of x changes and it increases the height of the plant by 2 mm.

The graph of the equation is also attached with the answer. Therefore the correct answer is option C which is the height of the plant increases by 2 mm for every hour of sunlight it receives.
