Answer:
y = 1/40x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept equation format:
y = mx + b
m = slope/ gradient/ constant of variation/ rate of change
b = y-intercept
To find the slope, use the formula:

Find two random points:
1 - (0.5, 40) , 2 - (1, 60)
Plug in:

Solve:

Divide:

The y-intercept is when the x-coordinate is equal to 0.
The y-intercept is always the beginning.
So observing the graph, the first point is (0, 20)
The x-coordinate is 0.
Y intercept = 20.
Plug in both slope and y-intercept:
y = 1/40x + 20
4/3 = 1/x.....4 lbs potatoes to $3 = 1 lb of potatoes to $x
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(1)
4x = 3
x = 3/4
x = 0.75....so 1 lb of potatoes cost 75 cents
(8,6)...this means 8 lbs of potatoes cost $6
