Answer:
A) $8/bushel (divide dollars by bushels)
B) $2
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We observe that the graph is a straight line through the origin, so we know the price is proportional to the quantity. The "rate of change" is the ratio of price to quantity, which can be figured using any point on the graph.
For easy division by quantity, it is convenient to use the point for 10 bushels. That price is $80, so the "rate of change" is ...
price per bushel = $80/10 = $8 . . . per bushel
__
B) The same calculation can be done for the previous year. Any line of the table will do.
price per bushel = $12/2 = $6
The current year price is greater by ...
$8 -6 = $2 . . . per bushel
That answer is 42 because it asks for the surface so you will multiply 6 by 6
By taking advantage of characteristics between two <em>parallel</em> lines we conclude that the <em>linear</em> equation <em>parallel</em> to f(x) is g(x) = -(4/17) · x + 455/17.
<h3>How to determine the equation of a line parallel to another line</h3>
In accordance with the analytical geometry, two lines are <em>parallel</em> when they share the <em>same</em> slope (m) but <em>different</em> intercepts (b). <em>Linear</em> functions are usually are described by the following form:
y = m · x + b (1)
Where:
- x - Independent variable
- y - Dependent variable
Based on the given information, we conclude that g(x) has a slope of -4/17. Lastly, we use (1) and the given point to determine the intercept of the function:
27 = -(4/17) · (-1) + b
b = 455/17
By taking advantage of characteristics between two <em>parallel</em> lines we conclude that the <em>linear</em> equation <em>parallel</em> to f(x) is g(x) = -(4/17) · x + 455/17.
