Answer:

B. Slightly more than $5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 3

Firstly we check variables to make sure we understand.

y = dollars

x = pounds

On the scale, it says 1.126 lb. Which means 1.126 pounds.

And so, x = 1.126

y = 2x + 3

y = 2(1.126) + 3

y = 2.252 + 3

y = 2.252

The graph for part a and park b. It is underneath. I wrote 1.1, because it is rounded down from 1.126 lb, which is part b. The one with one line and no dots is part a.
