Answer 2

Below are selected answers which are correct

10 lb of apples will cost Zack $4.

1 lb of apples will cost Zack $2.50.

Explanation:

Given:

Graph titled is Cost of Apples.

The cost of apples is proportional to the weight of the apples in pounds as shown on the graph.

Here the horizontal axis
`x` is labelled in cost in dollars.

And vertical axis
`y` is labelled weight in pounds,

Both axis range are from (0-10) with and increment of 0.5

The points given are (1,2.5) and (4,10),

from above points we get can say the equation will become;

`y=2.5x`

when x = 1 y= 2.5 and when x=4 y = 10.

Hence we can say that,

10 lb of apples will cost Zack $4.

1 lb of apples will cost Zack $2.50.
