Question

The function h(m)=10+4mh(m)=10+4m represents the height of a vine, in centimeters, m months after the vine was transplanted.

What does the value 10 represent in this situation?

The vine grows 10 cm each month.

The vine grew for 10 months.

The vine was 10 cm tall when it was transplanted.

it was 10cm when it was transplanted
I hope my answer helped you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The vine was 10 cm tall when it was transplanted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function h(m) = 10 + 4m     ......[1] represents the height of a vine in centimeter.

where m represents the month after the vine was transplanted.

Compare the given equation [1] with the general equation of line

i.e, y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the initial value.

Therefore,

m =4 and

b = 10

Therefore, 10 represents the initial value i.e,

The vine was 10 cm tall when it was transplanted.
