The easiest way is to compare two different whole-number points. So, the first one is (0,2) and the other is (3,3), meaning that it's 3 right, 1 up. This means that the slope is ⅓. (⅓x)
Next is the point that intercepts the y-axis. In this case, at x=0 y=2. (+2)

So, the equation for the red part is ⅓x+2

The price of grapes, g, is $2.19 per pound. The price of bananas, b, is $0.59 per pound. The price of pears, p, is $1.49 per pou

Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.

Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p

Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32

The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32

Completely factor the expression 16t^3 - 50t^2 + 36t

NikAS [45]

$\bf 16t^3-50t^2+36t\implies 2t[8t^2-25t+18]\implies 2t[(8t-9)(t-2)]$
