<h3>
Answer: B) $1.75</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
To get the unit cost, we divide the total cost over the number of pounds.
We can do this for any row
- row one: ($17.50)/(10) = $1.75
- row two: ($35.00)/(20) = $1.75
- row three: ($52.50)/(30) = $1.75
- row four: ($70.00)/(40) = $1.75
You don't need to show all four row calculations. You can simply pick one row.
This tells us that each pound costs $1.75
Put another way: the price is $1.75 per pound
Answer:
Examination of the equation shows (graph):
x = 0, y = .5
Then .5 = c gives us the value of c giving
y = m x + .5 is our equation
Using y = 0, x = -1 gives
o = -1 * m + .5
m = .5
y = .5 x + .5 for the final equation
Check:
At x = 5, y = 3
3 = .5 (5) + .5 = 3
