Answer:
Loaves of bread: b can't be a negative value, then the first table doesn't include viable solutions.
The number of loaves of bread must be a whole number, then the second table doesn't include viable solutions.
c=3.5b
if b=0→c=3.5(0)→c=0
If b=3→c=3.5(3)→c=10.5
If b=6→c=3.5(6)→c=21
If b=9→c=3.5(9)→c=31.5
The third table includes viable solutions
Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts
The slope of both lines is -2/3
To find the equation that passes through (7, 3) we can use the point-slope formula: y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - (3) = (-2/3) (x - (7))
y - 3 = -2/3x + 4 and 2/3
y = -2/3x + 7 and 2/3
or
y = -2/3x + 7.67

Cost per ounce means you take the cost and divide it by the cost:
<span>3.36 / (21/2) </span>
<span>division of fractions changes to the multiplication of the reciprocal: </span>
<span>3.36 * (2 / 21) </span>
<span>3.36 and has 21 as a factor, so let's cancel it: </span>
<span>0.16 * 2 </span>
<span>$0.32 per ounce</span>
