1. **State the problem:** We need to identify which graph best represents the height of Brittany's indoor palm plant over time. 2. **Analyze the problem:** The plant started a few feet tall, grew steadily until it almost tripled in height, then its height leveled off. 3. **Key points:** - Initial height: low (a few feet) - Growth: steady increase - Final height: about triple the initial height - After growth: height levels off (no further increase) 4. **Interpretation of graphs:** - Graph 1 (top-left): Steady linear increase then horizontal leveling off. - Graph 2 (top-right): Two phases of growth separated by leveling off. - Graph 3 (bottom-left): Gradual increase with no leveling off. - Graph 4 (bottom-right): Steep rise then leveling off. 5. **Match with problem:** The plant grew steadily (not in two phases), then leveled off. Graph 1 shows steady growth then leveling off, matching the description. **Final answer:** Graph 1 (top-left) best represents the height of Brittany's palm plant over time.
