Please hurry I will mark you brainliest A sunflower plant is growing at a constant rate. It was 4cm tall after 1 month and 32 cm tall after
9 months.

a) Express the growth of the plant as a rate of change.

b) Write an equation to show this relationship

a) 3.5 cm / month

b y = 3.5(x-1) + 4, x >= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the plant grew 32-4 = 28 cm in 9-1 = 8 months.

so, the growth rate is 28 cm / 8 months = 7 cm / 2 months, or (to norm it to a typical 1 unit denominator) 3.5 cm per month.

x = months of growth

y = height of plant

so, considering the "start" of 4 cm after one month, the equation is

y = 3.5(x-1) + 4, x >= 1

since we don't know anything about anything that happened before the first month was over, we cannot validate this equation for anything x<1.

b.my answer is b.
