Answer:
Let's find unit price. 7.38 / 2 = 3.69 and 9.57 / 3 = 3.19. Since 3.19 < 3.69 the better buy is 9.57 for 3 pounds.
Since there are a total of 4,200 residents and the question is asking for the amount in the south region, take the distribution number from the chart, 0.16, and multiply it by 4,200.
4200 ×.16 = 672
672 residents
We can observe that the function describing the graph is linear and so the equation is of linear nature:

Numbers m and n have special names. m is called the slope, n is called y-intercept.
From the graph one can tell that the line intercepts y-axis at y = -1 that means n = -1. What about the slope you say?
The slope can be calculated using two points' coordinates that lie on the line:

Now our line has an equation,

Hope this helps.
Given:
The product of
and
greater than 5.
To find:
By how much the product of
and
greater than 5.
Solution:
First we need to find the product of
and
.




Now subtract 5 from the product.

Therefore, the product of
and
is 9.85 greater than 5.
