Question

I looking for either an explanation or answer. I really dont understand how to do this. Any help is appreciated

Write an equation, in slope-intercept form, that shows the relationship between the number of apples purchased and the total price.


What is the slope of this equation? ________________


Describe the relationship between the slope of the line and the rate? What rate is being measured?







What is the y-intercept of this equation? ______________


What does this y-intercept tell you about this equation? What kind of relationship do the two quantities (the number of apples and the amount of money) have?

Answer 1

An equation, in slope-intercept form, that shows the relationship between the number of apples purchased and the total price is
y = 1.25x + 0.25.
the slope of this equation is 1.25
The relation with the slope is that each apple has a cost of 1.25 + 0.25 $.
the y-intercept of this equation is 0.25
The interception with the y axis means that the cost of production of the apple is 0.25, since, if you buy 0 apples the price is 0.25 $.
The relationship between both quantities is linear.
