Answer:
(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.
Part A:
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.
The formula to compute the slope is:
Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:
Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
Part B:
The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:
Number of Bushels Price
2 10
4 20
6 30
8 40
Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:
Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.
Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.

Answer:
The points that verify the system of inequalities are:
point E, pointF, and point G.
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached image that illustrates the boundary lines in your system of inequalities.
The boundary line for the inequality is depicted in green, while the boundary line for the inequality
is depicted in red.
By solving for y in each inequality, we understand which half-plane should be considered for the inequality:
First inequality (green boundary line) :
This means that we are to consider the points below the green boundary line.
Second inequality (red boundary line) :
This means we have to consider the points below the red boundary line.
Recall as well that both conditions we arrived at have to be satisfied by the points that are solutions of both inequalities.
From the image, we can see that there are only three points that reside at the same time below the green and the red boundary lines. These points are: point E, pointF, and point G.
On the other hand, we have two points that lie on a boundary line (point J and H), but they should be ignored, since the system of inequalities contain just inequality symbols < or >, and not the "equal" sign.
