If you wanted to compare the data in Activity 1 to the data in Activity 2, how might you do this?
a.
Comparing these two activities, I am a visual learner so I would like to see a graph side by side. That would be the easiest for me to compare the results. © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company

Data
Data Table 1
Wheat Plant Trendline
Equation
Wheat Plant 1 trendline equation
y = 1.2381x + 0.9286
Wheat Plant 1 trendline corrected
y = 1.402x
Wheat Plant 2 trendline equation
y = 1.0595x + 1.6071
Wheat Plant 2 trendline corrected
y = 1.3431x
Wheat Plant 3 trendline equation
y = 1.0357x - 0.2857
Wheat Plant 3 trendline corrected
y = 0.9853x
3.
Based on the corrected trend lines, which wheat plant grew fastest?
a.
Wheat Plant 1 grew the fastest. 4.
Why do you set the y-intercept to 0?
a.
Setting the y-intercept gives all plants or data points the same starting points. The all had a different growth rate for week one. Setting the start to 0 will give a base line. © 2016 Carolina Biological Supply Company
