Answer:
Produce per pound costs less than meat per pound because the slope of the graph for meat is greater that of the graph for produce.
The slope the graph tells you the unit rate in dollars per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph the x-axis represents weight in the pound and y-axis represents the price in dollar,
Since, slope of a line represents unit rate of change and it is constant.
So, slope the graph represents the unit rate in dollars per pound.
Also, the steeper line( closer to y-axis ) has higher slope.
By the given graph,
Graph of line represents cost of meat per pound is steeper than that of cost of produce per pound.
Thus, the cost of meat per pound is more than cost of produce per pound because the graph for meat is greater that of the graph for produce.
