The equation you use for the slope of this kind of problem is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). x1 is the first X coordinate, x2 is the second, y1 is the first y coordinate, y2 is the second.
(5-3)/(2-2)
2/0
This equation has an UNDEFINED SLOPE, as it is just a vertical line.
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
3 because 2*12 24 24/8 is 3 hope this helps
I think you mean six-hundred and seventy six.
6 ÷ 576 = 0.010416
or 0.0104166667
