Solve It! Bamboo can grow very quickly. The graph models the growth of a bamboo plant. Identify the point where the line crosses the vertical (Height) axis.

5

Solve It! What does this point where the line crosses the vertical axis tell you about the bamboo plant?

5

Solve It! Identify the slope of the line.
HINT: The plant grows in height from 20 feet to 30 feet in the first 10 days.

5

Solve It! What does the slope tell you about the bamboo plant?
