It's not a typo that both answers are 24
======================================================
Explanation:
Each time the weight goes up by 1 ounce, the cost goes up by 24 cents. So the unit cost is 24 cents per ounce. This is exactly the slope of the line because the slope is the rate of change. It tells us how fast something is changing.
You can use the slope formula to answer this question, but I think it's easier to simply locate the point (1,24) and then note that slope = rise/run = y/x = 24/1 = 24. This shortcut only works because the line goes through the origin.
The equation of this line is y = 24x
x = number of ounces
y = cost in cents
Answer:
Solution is positive and both are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
1) since negative times negative is positive and -27 and -35 are both negative then x needs to be positive
2) since positive divided by positive is positive and negative divided by negative is also positive (when the negative sign is in the middle of both numbers on a fraction bar it means both are negative) then both are correct
Y is less than or equal to -2
Both condone the swapping of terms being operated on through multiplication or addition. For example:
4 * 6 = 24 OR 6 * 4 = 24
7+3 = 10 OR 3 + 7 = 10
Commutative comes from the same root wrd as commute, so just think of it meaning "to move around".
