Answer:
General equation of line :
--1
Where m is the slope or unit rate
Table 1)
p d
1 3
2 6
4 12
d = Number of dollars (i.e.y axis)
p = number of pound(i.e. x axis)
First find the slope
First calculate the slope of given points
---A
![(x_1,y_1)=(1,3)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x_1%2Cy_1%29%3D%281%2C3%29)
![(x_2,y_2)=(2,6)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x_2%2Cy_2%29%3D%282%2C6%29)
Substitute values in A
Thus the unit rate is 3 dollars per pound.
So, It matches the box 1 (Refer the attached figure)
Equation 1 : ![p=3d](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=p%3D3d)
![\frac{p}{3}=d](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bp%7D%7B3%7D%3Dd)
Since p is the x coordinate and d is the y coordinate
On Comparing with 1
![m = \frac{1}{3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D)
Thus the unit rate is
dollars per pound
So, It matches the box 2 (Refer the attached figure)
Equation 2 : ![\frac{1}{3}d=3p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7Dd%3D3p)
![d=9p](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D9p)
Since p is the x coordinate and d is the y coordinate
On Comparing with 1
![m =9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m%20%3D9)
Thus the unit rate is 9 dollars per pound
So, It matches the box 3 (Refer the attached figure)
Table 2)
p d
1/9 1
1 9
2 18
d = Number of dollars (i.e.y axis)
p = number of pound(i.e. x axis)
![(x_1,y_1)=(\frac{1}{9},1)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x_1%2Cy_1%29%3D%28%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B9%7D%2C1%29)
![(x_2,y_2)=(1,9)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%28x_2%2Cy_2%29%3D%281%2C9%29)
Substitute values in A
Thus the unit rate is 9 dollars per pound
So, It matches the box 3 (Refer the attached figure)
