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.
