Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
lets say the cost for a pound is 2$
if the watermelon weighs 3 pounds it would cost $6.
2(3)
The weight is the variable in the parenthesis because that is what is constantly changing.
Hi there! The answer is x = -1
Let's solve this equation step by step!

First collect terms.

Subtract (1/2)x from both sides.

Subtract 3 from both sides.

And finally divide by -1 3/4
Average rate of change = change in y ÷ change in x
We already know the change in x because we are measuring the x values from -3 to 0.
change in x = 0-(-3) = 3
To find the change in y find the difference between the corresponding y-values when x=0 and when x=-3.
change in y = 0.5-2 = -1.5
average rate of change = -1.5/3 = -0.5
answer: -0.5
