Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

The slope for public sales:

$m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) \\$

here x₁ = 2 , x₂= 5 , y₁=24, y₂= 60

$m= (60-24)/(5-2)\\ m= (36)/(3)\\ m=12$

The slope for Wholesale sales:

$m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1)) \\$

here x₁ = 18 , x₂= 35 , y₁=162, y₂= 315

$m= (315-162)/(35-18)\\ m= (153)/(17)\\ m=9$

Now, comparing slopes of wholesales sale and Public sales

9:12

0r

3:4

3:4 can be written as 3/4.

So, Option B The slope of wholesale table is 3/4 times of the slope of the Public table is correct.
