At the beginning of spring, Andrew planted a small sunflower in his backyard. The sunflower's height in inches, h, after weeks, is given by the equation h = 2.5w + 19 What could the number 19 represent in the equation ?

Answer:
The sunflower's height when it was planted.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sunflower's height in inches, h, after weeks, is given by the equation :
h=2.5w + 19
We need to tell that what the number 19 represent in the equation.
If we put w=0, we get,
h=2.5(0) + 19
h = 19 inches
It means when the number of weeks is equal to 0, its height is equal to 19 inches i.e. 19 represents the initial height of the sunflower. So, the correct option is (c) "The sunflower's height when it was planted."
