Theo is tracking the growth of his plant. When he got the plant, it was 2 cm high. It grows 0.5 cm per day. Which graph represents the growth of the plant?

please help

`When he got the plant, it was 2 cm high` this is the starting height, so that means the y intercept is 2 this is represented by the point (0,2)

OpenStudy (kyleighcx):

alright so (0,2)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`It grows 0.5 cm per day` the rate of change is 0.5 cm per day, so the slope is m = 0.5 since 0.5 = 1/2 this means that the graph goes up 1 unit and then over to the right 2 units

hopefully this makes sense?
