1. The following table shows the height of a tree as it ages. In Excel, plot each point on the same graph where the first coordinate is the age of the tree and the second coordinate is the height of the tree (age, height). After plotting each point, explain if there is a linear relationship between the age and height of the tree.
Age (years) 5 10 15 20 25
Height (ft) 10 12.5 17.5 21 16
