Official Explanation
Solution
The relationship between the hours of sun exposure and plant height is positive. As sun exposure increases, so does plant height. The slope of the dashed line is less than that of the solid line. The solid line is steeper than the dashed line, so its slope is the larger of the two. The number of plants that received more than six hours of daily sun exposure is closest to 5 percent of 60. Exactly three plants received more than six hours of daily sun exposure, so 5 percent of the plants received this amount.
Solution Strategies
For these questions, you’ll need to use data analysis, percentages, and coordinate geometry skills. Here are some key points:
1. Two factors are positively related if one increases as the other does. If one increases and the other decreases, the relationship between the two is negative.
2. On a graph, the slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. The steeper the line, the greater the slope.
3. If a line slants upward from left to right, its slope is positive. If the line slants downward from left to right, its slope is negative.
4. To calculate the percentage represented by part of a whole, divide the part by the total. In this example, to calculate the percentage represented by three plants, divide 3 by 60. The percentage is 0.05, or 5 percent.
5. Where possible, use estimation to answer Graphics Interpretation questions. You don’t have to calculate the slopes of the lines, for instance, if you know that steeper lines have greater slopes.

1)C, Positive,since both are simultaneously increasing
2)B,Slope of dashed line is less than slope of solid line(easily can be seen in the graph)
3)B,3 plants got sunlight for more than 6 hours,and the value is 5%of 60
