How would you compare the data in Activity 1 to the data in Activity 2?
Although the data is essentially the same, just in different formats, the data in activity 2 was more readily displayed and provided an easier process to establish a trend amongst the individual plants and a
trend amongst the plants altogether. Activity two provided a better visual perspective of the data, visual comparison between the data sets and is more easily edited. By establishing a trend within the data, we were able to view how strong of a slope there was within the data points and establish which plants and in comparison which data sets showed the strongest growth.

Why do you set the y
-intercept to 0?
They y-intercept was set at zero to reflect that the data from the wheat and rye plants was based on
seedlings, as they were started from seeds. This helped to reflect that the growth data was from a seed, starting at a heigh of zero, versus potentially using a sprouts that already head some height. It also helped to establish that each plant started from the same height and went through the same process.
