Answer 1

Answer:

Part A:    We know that 3 bushels is $24, and that rate remains constant, as the graph has a straight line.

Divide both sides by 3 to get 1 bushel=$8.

We can also double check with the other values: 48/6=$8 per bushel, 72/9=$8 per bushel, and so on.

The rate of change is the slope of a line (how much one value changes when the other value does). In this equation, the equation of the line is y=8x, so the slope is 8. Therefore, the rate of change is 8.

Part B:  In the previous year, each bushel of corn was 21/3, 42/6, etc., or $7 a bushel. This year, it is $8, so $8-$7=$1
