Answer: The better buy is the one where banana is sold for $0.80 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

At one farmer's market, bananas in the market cost $0.80 per pound while at another farmer's market, the bananas are sold in 5-pound bags for $4.50 per bag. In this market , a pound of banana will be sold for $4.50 divided by 5 which will be $0.9.

The firs market has banana sold as

at $0.80 per pound while in the second market, bananas are sold for $0.90 per bag since 5 pounds are sold for $4.50.

The better buy is the one where banana is sold for $0.80 per pound.

Divide the second amount by five to find out how much it costs at the second farmers market to get 1 pound of bananas.
5/5=1
4.50/5=.9
.9>.8 so the first farmers market had a better deal.

1. What is an equation for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept 9?

Monica [59]

Question 1:

The generic equation of the line is given by:
$y = mx + b
$
Where,
m: slope of the line
b: cutting point with the y axis
Substituting values we have:
$y = \frac{2}3}x + 9
$
Answer:
an equation for the line with slope 2/3 and y-intercept is:
$y = \frac{2}3}x + 9$

Question 2:

The standard equation of the line is given by:
$y-yo = m (x-xo)
$
Where,
m: slope of the line
(xo, yo): ordered pair that belongs to the line
The slope of the line is:
$m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
Substituting values:
$m = \frac{1-(-3)}{3-1}$
$m = \frac{1+3}{3-1}$
$m = \frac{4}{2}$
$m = 2
$
We choose an ordered pair:
$(xo, yo) = (3, 1)
$
Substituting values:
$y-1 = 2 (x-3)
$
Rewriting:
$y = 2x - 6 + 1

y = 2x - 5$
Answer:
An equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3,1) is:
$y = 2x - 5
$

Question 3:

For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
$y = kx
$ Where,
k: constant of variation.
We then have the following equation:
$-4y = 8x
$ Rewriting we have:
$y = \frac{8}{-4}x
$
$y = -2x
$ Therefore, the constate of variation is given by:
$k = -2
$
Answer:
the constant of variation is:
$k = -2$

Question 4:

For this case, since the variation is direct, then we have an equation of the form:
$y = kx
$ Where,
k: constant of variation.
We must find the constant k, for this we use the following data:
y = 24 when x = 8
Substituting values:
$24 = k8
$ Clearing k we have:
$k = \frac{24}{8} 
$
$k = 3
$
Therefore, the equation is:
$y = 3x
$ Thus, substituting x = 10 we have that the value of y is given by:
$y = 3 (10)

y = 30$ Answer:
the value of y when x = 10 is:
$y = 30$
