Answer:
(A) The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
(B) The price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph for the prices of different numbers of bushels of corn at a store in the current year is shown below.
Part A:
The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year based upon the number of bushels is known as the slope of the line.
The formula to compute the slope is:

Consider the ordered pairs: (4, 28) and (10, 70)
Compute the slope of the line as follows:


Thus, the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $7.
Part B:
The data for the price of bushels in the previous year is as follows:
Number of Bushels Price
2 10
4 20
6 30
8 40
Compute the rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year based upon the number of bushels as follows:
Consider the ordered pairs: (2, 10) and (6, 30)


The rate of change in the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year is $5.
Thus, the price of a bushel of corn in the current year is $2 more than the price of a bushel of corn in the previous year.
Answer:
(3, 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
3x - y = 6 → (1)
6x + y = 21 → (2)
Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is
(6x + 3x) + (y - y) = (21 + 6), that is
9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 )
x = 3
Substitute x = 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y
Using (2), then
(6 × 3) + y = 21
18 + y = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
y = 3
Solution is (3, 3 )
Because 1023.68 is 112% of the loan, you can divide by 1.12 to get 914, which is the answer
