Question

The cost, y, of red apples can be represented by the equation y = 2x, where x

is the number of pounds of red apples.
The graph shows the cost of green apples.
Which type of apple costs more per pound?​

Answer 1

red apples

Explanation:

cause for 1 pound, a red apple will cost 2 dollars, while for 1 pound, a green apple will cost less

Answer 2

Red apples

Explanation:

Since the cost of red apples is given by the equation y = 2x

where x = is number of pounds of red apples

Therefore clearly it can seen from the equation that the slope of this equation will be more steeper than the slope of the cost of the cost the green apples.

Now since the slope is more steep, therefore we can conclude that the red apples will cost more than the green apples for per pound of apples.

Thus, red apples will cost more per pound than green apples.
