A team of botanists conducted an experiment investigating the effect of pH on plant growth. The height of the plant was measured three weeks after planting. Based on the data they collected, what is the optimal pH for growing basil? Explain your answer.
Based on the data they collected, which plant fares better than the others in low pH environments? Explain your answer.
At which pH is there the greatest difference between the heights of parsley and basil? What is the height difference at that pH?

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

hope this !
