Given the points (0,0) and (5,3), how many centimeters does the plant grow per week?

Answer:
0.6 cm per week
Explanation:
To determine the number of centimeters the plant grows per week, we find the slope of the pair of points given.
Using the point (0,0) and (5,3)
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Changed\text{ in x-axis}} \\ =\frac{3-0}{5-0} \\ =\frac{3}{5} \\ =0.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]The plant grows 0.6 cm per week.
