A. Finding the slope
The slope of the function is simply the ratio of the value
of the dependent variable over the independent variable, so in this case it is:
slope = 6/ 3 = 2
B. Finding the y – intercept
The y – intercept is simply the value of the dependent
variable when the independent variable is equal to zero, therefore:
y – intercept (b) = 4
C. Finding the function of the graph
The general equation of a line is given as:
y = m x + b
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept therefore:
y = 2 x + 4
D. Finding the x – intercept
The x – intercept is simply the value of the independent
variable (x) when the dependent variable (y) is equal to zero, therefore:
0 = 2 x + 4
x = - 2

5/14 I found common denominators (8 12/14 and 5 7/14) I subtracted them and got 3 5/14 but the 3’s already there so it’s just 5/14.
For the first one the price per ounce is:
$4.56/15oz=0.304 dollars per ounce, which rounds to 0.3
For the second:
$5.98/25oz=0.2392 dollars per ounce, which rounds to 0.24
The second is the cheapest price per ounce and rounds to $0.24/oz so 0.24 is the answer
