Answer:

          8 cm

m = --------------    This is the desired rate of change, the amount the plant

          5 wk              grows per 1 week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from point (0, 0) to point (5, 8), we see that the x-coordinate (the 'run') increases by 5 wk and the y-coordinate (the 'rise') increases by 8 cm.  Thus we have the rate of change

          8 cm

m = --------------    This is the desired rate of change, the amount the plant

          5 wk              grows per 1 week.
