Answer:
y= -x+0: has a negative slope.
y=x: has a negative slope.
y=-4: has a slope of zero, a straight line from left to right, passing thru 4
We need to find the unit price of each box.
So, a box that weighs 30 Oz costs $4.50.
lets say that 30 Oz box is named box 1. We can use unitary method to find out the unit price of box 1.
Unitary method is a process to find the value of a single unit.
Now,
30 Oz costs $4.50
therefore, 1 Oz should cost:
dollars
So, the unit price of box 1 is $0.15.
Now, lets say the 20 Oz box is named box 2. Again we can use unitary method to find out the unit price of box 2.
Now,
20 Oz box costs $3.60
therefore, 1 Oz should cost:
dollars
So, the unit price of box 2 is $0.18.
Hello!
I was going to try to use the slope formula, and solve for the y-intercept, but the given graph is hard to distinguish accurate ordered pairs. So, we will find the equation with the graph instead.
Looking at the graph, we can see that the y-intercept is negative. Also, we can also determine that each square represents one unit. So, the y-intercept has to be -3/2 or -1.5. That removes the choices A and C because the y-intercept is in between the values of -1 and -2.
Secondly, the graph has a positive slope. Why? When the x-values increase, the y-values increase. Also, when the x-values decrease, the y-values also decrease. This tells us that the graph has a positive slope (this doesn't remove any choices, but it helps to distinguish which graph has a positive or negative slope).
Finally, we know that if the slope is greater than one, then it is steeper (m > 1). But, if it's less than one, then it becomes less steep (0 < m < 1). Looking at the graph, the graph looks relatively steep (graphing the equations y = 5/7 x - 3/2 and y = 7/5x - 3/2 can help you see the differences between them).
Therefore, the equation of the line given by the graph is choice D, y = 7/5 x − 3/2.
