Question

Use the graph to answer the following questions.how much does the cost of cheese and crease for each ounce Milan buys? What is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

The graph given is a linear graph,

so that means that the cost of cheese is linearly related to the weight of cheese bought.

The increase in the cost of cheese increase for each ounce Milan buys is, therefore, the slope of the graph;

to find the slope of the graph, we use any two points on the line; i'll be using (4,96) and (2,48)

`\text{slope}=(96-48)/(4-2)=(48)/(2)=24`

This means that the cost of cheese increases by 24 cents for each ounce Milan buys.
