It would be <span>more useful to represent a proportional relationship with a graph rather than an equation when you need to compare two things visually. The graph gives you a clearer idea than am equation. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has actually come to your great help.</span>
Answer:
B.$8.98
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to determine the cost per ounce. We divide the cost by the number of ounces
3.59/16 =.224375 per ounce
Take the price per ounce and multiply by the number of ounces to determine the price of the 40 ounce jar
.224375 * 40 =8.975
Rounding to the nearest cent
8.98 for a 40 ounce jar
Given two points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)the slope passes through these points will be:
m=(y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
In this case the slope will be:
(7,-8)
(-4,6)
m=(6+8)/(-4-7)=14/-11=-14/11
point-slope form of a line: we need a point (x₀,y₀) and the slope (m).
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
In this case, we know the slope (m=-14/11), and we can choose either of two points. The line will be the same.
(-4,6)
m=-14/11
y-y₀=m(x-x₀)
y-6=-14/11(x+4) ⇒ (point-slope form)
<span>Answer: D. y-6=-14/11(x+4)</span>
The general equation of a line is y = mx+b. The line is horizontal and the slope (m) of a horizontal line is 0. So y = 0x + b = b. Since the y intercept (where it crosses the y axis) is -1 (or b = -1) then you have the equation y = -1.
Answer: y = -1.
