The relationship between cost and pounds of blueberries is y = (7/3)x

A linear equation is of the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

Let y represent the cost in dollars for x pounds of blueberries.

Since 6 pounds of blueberries cost $14, hence:

m = $14/ 6 pound = $7/3 per pound

Therefore the relationship between cost and pounds of blueberries is y = (7/3)x
