Answer:

Increase in the price of toothpaste is $1.82

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the formula of consumer price index

C.P.I.=\frac{P_{1} }{P}.100

Here P1 = Current price of the the product

P = Price of the product in the base year

Now we will plug in the values for year 1970

38.8=\frac{0.77}{P}.100---------(1)

Similarly for year 1990

130.7=\frac{P_{1} }{P}.100------------(2)

Now we will divide equation 2 from 1.

\frac{130.7}{38.8}=\frac{P_{1} }{0.77}

P_{1}=\frac{(130.7)(0.77)}{38.8}=2.59

Therefore price of toothpaste in year 1990 will be = $2.59

Since in 1970 price of toothpaste was = $0.77

So change in price from 1970 to 1990 = 2.59 - 0.77 = 1.82

Increase in the price of a tube of toothpaste will be $1.82

Slope = rise/run =[y2-y1]/[x2-x1]

1) slope = [90 - 30] / [12 - 4] = 60 / 8 = 15/2

2) slope = [75 - 30] / [10 - 4] = 45 / 6 = 15 / 2

The slopps are equal.
