The answer is C. park users are more likely to be willing to pay more to improve parks
Use the 2 points to find the gradient of the line
Gradient = (y - y1)/(x - x1), y and y1 are the two different y values.
(2.3 - - 7.4)/(-4.3 - 1.3) = -97/56 = -1.732
Note: y and x both come from the same coordinate, and y1 and x1 also come from the same coordinates - (x , y), (x1 , y1)
Use the following to find the equation (x, x1, y, and y1 are not the same as the first part)
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Where x2 and y2 is an intersection (one of the coordinates you used) and m is the gradient you found.
So...
y - 2.3 = -1.732(x - - 4.3)
You can simplify this if you are required to.
N+8>11 is the answer you are looking for
Figure out slope by using:
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Plug in values:
29.98-15.49/50-25
Simplify:
14.49/25 = 0.5796
Then, use this ratio for the 40 lbs bag. So, then:
40*0.5796 = 23.184
So, your price for the 40 lbs bag should be $23.18 because cents only go up to 2 decimal places (otherwise, it would be $23.184).
1
It's whole number
So I think it's the answer
