Avery is tracking the height of a plant that grows at a constant rate. After the third week, the plant is 8.5 centimeters high. After the seventh week, the plant is 18.5 centimeters high. What was the original height, in centimeters, of the plant and how many centimeters did it grow per week?

Original Plant was 1cm and it grew 2.5 cm per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Slope Formula (y2-y1/x2-x1)we can get how many centimeters it will grow in a week.

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
