How many quarter pound burgers can george make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef ?

Assuming that there is no wastage of beef.

Note that 3 1/2 = 7/2 = 14/4 = 14 * 1/4
This means that we can have 14 sets of quarter pound beef.

This in turn means that George can make 14 quarter pound burgers.

If you take it down to the unit rate George would be able to make 4 quarter pound burgers for every pound (because a quarter is one fourth) you can display this as 4/1 multiply the top and bottom by 3 and get 12/3 meaning George can make 12 out of 3 pounds and the 1/2 pound would be equivalent to 2 fourths or in this case 2 more quarter pound burgers add it to the 12 and the final answer would be 14.

The rate of change will be positive and a point in the graph will be (1,250);
the function then would be y = 250x;
after 1 year she will owe USD 5,250;
she will have to make 33 payments.

How to form equation using slope and one point?
y - y1 = m(x - x1) is the equation of a straight line's point slope form, where m is the line's slope and (x1, y1) is the point through which the provided line passes.

Using slope-point equation, the equation for the payment can be taken as:
y-250 = [(500-250)/(2-1)]*(x-1)
y - 250 = 250*(x-1)
y = 250 + 250x - 250 = 250x;
Putting x = 12, for a year the amount paid is USD 3,000.
Amount she owes = USD (8250-3000) = USD 5,250;
Total amount to be paid (in USD) = 8250
Amount paid per month (in USD) = 250
Thus, number of payments required = 8250/250 = 33

Thus, the rate of change will be positive and a point in the graph will be (1,250); the function then would be y = 250x; after 1 year she will owe USD 5,250; she will have to make 33 payments.
