The solution set is answer A.
Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"

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.
