the original height of the plant was 2mm. The correct option is the second one.

What does the y-intercept of the function represent?

We know that the function:

y = 2 + 4x

Represents the height of a plant in mm, as a function of x, the hours kepts in sunlight.

The y-intercept is the value that y takes when we evaluate in x = 0.

So, the y-intercept is the height of the plant when it is exposed to zero hours of light.

In this case:

y = 2 + 4*x

Evaluating in x = 0

y = 2 + 4*0 = 2

This means that the original height of the plant was 2mm. The correct option is the second one.
